[Bug 41871] Re: Some apps mess up the volume of others

[Dennis Kaarsemaker]

No need for 3 tasks...

** Changed in: totem (Ubuntu)
       Status: Unconfirmed => Rejected

** Changed in: Ubuntu
Sourcepackagename: None => xmms

** Summary changed:

- Some apps mess up the volume of others
+ xmms' volume slider should not mess with PCM but with master

** Description changed:

  I am not sure what package to file the bug to, however here it goes.
  
  Dapper Drake. Play a song with xmms and decrease the volume in XMMS until the song is barely audible (e.g. volume 7%). Close xmms. Open a movie with totem: you find out that the volume slider in totem is already at max and cannot be increased, but the volume is still too low. Then you try to increase the master volume (the applet on gnome-panel) but you discover it is also at max. So you get stuck: there is no apparent way to play the movie at decent volume. You _could_ launch xmms again and increase the volume slider, but a newbie would not discover that or accept it anyway. 
  In short, it seems the volume control in apps like XMMS and mplayer takes over totem's slider, and causes it to malfunction.
  
- Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'gstreamer'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu.
