Are you Stephen in the redhat bugzilla? If so, you're obviously the best person to fix this, since you can do this in just 5 minutes :)
Comment 2 freedesktop 2018-05-23 19:07:46 UTC
It's not clear how I would do that, given that I don't have commit access to pulseaudio.

And on RHBZ they've specifically said they'd like the fix to be upstream (which makes sense).
Comment 3 Tanu Kaskinen 2018-05-25 11:49:38 UTC
If you write a patch and test it, I can commit it. Note that the desktop file needs to be added to the build system as well.

If you're not willing to do that, I may fix this at some point, but don't hold your breath (the task is in a long list of things I could do when there's nothing urgent going on).
Comment 4 freedesktop 2018-05-25 19:31:16 UTC
It's a 7-line declarative desktop file, I'm not sure what there is to test really, it works.

I hope you find a minute to add it to your tree in a spare moment; I already have a trivial package containing the file on my own system so it doesn't make a difference to me personally, and the asymmetry of effort for me to make the contribution vs. an existing contributor doesn't seem to make much sense to me TBH, but it would benefit everyone else using PA's equaliser if you added it.

Thanks for your time responding.
