./configure --enable-gstmix

Now if some ubuntu developer could please investigate what this switch does and eventually enable that one for gnome-volume-control, that would be very very nice.

I mean: I am loving pulseaudio and even found some dirty workaround for skype (that is, disabling pulseaudio temporarily). But it would be even nicer if the gnome mixer could use its full power even without pulseaudio. That will not change anything in ubuntu and will improve its flexibility. I think upstream is going to maintain that code anyways so we should not worry.
