Bug Description

The package version of gnome-media in current development releases of Debian and GNOME is 3.4, but:

 - The upstream GNOME developers are not longer supporting it (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=677199)
 - GNOME Sound Recorder in this package hasn't been working since November 2011 (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=649510)
 - The package has been kept in this version since May 2013 (https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=gnome-media)
 - GNOME Sound Recorder has been rewritten from scratch in JavaScript (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=677199#c9)

So this package needs upgrading within Ubuntu.

GNOME media has been deprecated, although it seems it could be needed by some applications:

GNOME sound recorder has been rewritten from scratch, and needs upgrading as it is completely broken.

Seems that the only use of this source is for the gstreamer-properties capplet. (currently broken in 15.04
Is there a replacement for gstreamer-properties or does gnome no longer need or desire it ?
