Problem with xfce4-mixer is that it uses the mixer interface which was
removed in gstreamer 1.0 [1]. I would like to port xfce4-mixer to use
alsa directly but did not find enough time yet.

For oe: I have created a layer meta-musicians (not published yet)
where I added xfce-mixer together with a very reduced set of gstreamer
0.10 and much stuff from meta-qt5-extra because that layer grew too
big over the time.

So I'm fine - no problem in removing.
