phonon-backend-gstreamer should not depend *only* on pulseaudio

[ralphb]

For Yakkety, phonon-backend-gstreamer now depends exclusively on gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio.

In Xenial, phonon-backend-gstreamer would allow both gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio and gstreamer1.0-alsa.

Please add gstreamer1.0-alsa to Yakkety as well.

(Note: I rely on ALSA, as Pulseaudio won't work reliably on my system, and is horrible anyway.)

How about installing

 * gstremaer1.0-audiosink

This would allow you to swift.

(v) gstreamer1.0-audiosink is already installed.

I uninstalled phonon-backend-gstreamer, and after reboot I was surprised to learn that sound stills works (although I have only one audio device "Default" left now).

So never mind for this release ...

On second thought, I still should be able to select different sources, as was possible on Xenial with phonon-backend-gstreamer and gstreamer1.0-alsa.

Is the more restricted dependency for phonon-backend-gstreamer really required?
