PulseAudio no more required
January 26, 2012 Category :MATE 0
Upgrading to mate-settings-daemon-1.1.1, we readded support to gstreamer (instead of pulseaudio) for media (volume) keys. So, now MATE dont requires PulseAudio.
Now there are two packages that provides mate-settings-daemon:
- mate-settings-daemon-gstreamer (default): uses gstreamer to provides media keys.
- mate-settings-daemon-pulse: uses pulseaudio to provides media keys.

December 16, 2011 Category :MATE 0
The repository was upgraded with 1.1.x MATE packages. Those packages solves many bugs found in the 1.0.x packages (but some other bugs still remaining).
Debian users need to change “sid” to “wheezy” in /etc/apt/sources.list (see mate.karapetsas.com).
