[Bug 659546] [NEW] kmix (with pulseaudio) main channel affects other channels as well. also there is no way to control channels directly anymore

[Mr.Chainsaw]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdemultimedia

In Kubuntu 10.10/KDE SC 4.5 kmix works differently than before when one
uses pulseaudio. As said, the main channel affects other channels as
well. The buggy thing is, that once affected, the other channels do not
remember their old settings. That is a problem with 5.1 upmix, because
one want different channels to have different volumes. So after using
masterchannel they are all the same volume

The second point that bothers me is, that you can not control the other
channels/speakers anymore. So one has to do this with alsamixer, but
than accidently changed main channel with kmix everything is lost.

In 10.04 pulseaudio wasn't standard, but i needed it for the upmix
function to get 5.1 sound with the creative x-fi card. Though that was
no problem because kmix worked fine.

I know that this “Bug” comes with KDE 4.5 because i tested it once with
10.04 and had the same problem.
