-Mixers are responsible for controlling volume. Clients of the mixers will
-simply instantiate a mixer and read/write to the ``volume`` attribute::
-
-    >>> from mopidy.mixers.alsa import AlsaMixer

-    >>> mixer.volume
-    100
-    >>> mixer.volume = 80
-    >>> mixer.volume
-    80

-Most users will use one of the internal mixers which controls the volume on the
-computer running Mopidy. If you do not specify which mixer you want to use in
-the settings, Mopidy will choose one for you based upon what OS you run. See
-:attr:`mopidy.settings.MIXER` for the defaults.
-
-Mopidy also supports controlling volume on other hardware devices instead of on
-the computer running Mopidy through the use of custom mixer implementations. To
-enable one of the hardware device mixers, you must the set
-:attr:`mopidy.settings.MIXER` setting to point to one of the classes found
-below, and possibly add some extra settings required by the mixer you choose.
-
-All mixers should subclass :class:`mopidy.mixers.base.BaseMixer` and override
-methods as described below.

+- Switch to pure GStreamer based mixing. This implies that users setup a

 complete the test procedure.
