Fwd: [Bug 1208204] Re: [SRU]Update indicator-sound-gtk2 with patch

[Stephen Michael Kellat]

Could somebody please poke the necessary folks to get the promoted from -proposed to saucy-updates so we can please end this caper?  I'm in the basement cafeteria at work so I don't have kosher IRC access until I get home in six hours or so.  This fix is past the minimum time to marinate without going kaboom.

>  [Regression Potential]
> 
>   * There is a risk of further conflict between the gtk2 and gtk3 sound indicators. In previous releases the two versions were almost identical but this changed in Saucy (this is also the reason -gtk2 broke). In particular, there is a potential for the two indicators to use gsettings configuration keys in different ways which may lead to problems. Testing should be done on systems with both Unity and Xubuntu installed.

>   * While Xubuntu is working on landing gtk3 indicators for 14.04 the landing of such for 13.10 now would be a massive change requiring approval by potentially the Technical Board.

>  [Other Info]
> 
>   * In general Xubuntu users have been distressed over not having the indicator sound menu available which makes this an issue we would like to resolve expeditiously.
