People that want to keep on building them can use the 2.26 branch
Solaris continues to use gst-mixer since Solaris does not yet provide PulseAudio. PulseAudio doesn't provide as much value on Solaris since OSSv4 provides mixing functionalities directly in the OSS layer. Providing an alternative GStreamer-based mixer program still has value, I think. Sun would appreciate if gst-mixer could stay in gnome-media. Since it doesn't need any fixing and works with deprecated symbols disabled already, I don't think there is any reason to remove it from that standpoint. I don't think there is an issue with removing the other programs, though. Brian
