Xfce4: PulseAudio Volume Control asks for libGLESv2

Describe your issue

What's the expected behaviour?

In Xfce4 when clicking the main menu -> Multimedia -> PulseAudio Volume Control, a volume control window should appear.

What's the current behaviour?

Clicking the "PulseAudio Volume Control" icon doesn't do anything. Typing "pavucontrol" in a terminal returns that library "libGLESv2.so.2" is missing.

This would require to install the package "mesa-gles". But it's not clear where that dependency comes from. I have filed an issue at Alpine Linux. Additionally I have set up this issue at postmarketOS to inform about and track the issue.

Stable postmarketOS v24.06 is not affected.

How to reproduce your issue?

At a fresh installation of postmarketOS "edge" from pmboostrap with "xfce4" as user interface. Xfce4 main menu -> Multimedia -> PulseAudio Volume Control. Nothing happens.

What device are you using?

qemu-amd64
