[Bug 496699] [NEW] No way to play Line-in over speakers with pavucontrol alone

[Wiebelt]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: pavucontrol

Pavucontrol version: 0.9.8
Ubuntu version: 9.10

Hi,

I have two computers on my desk, computer A and B.
But i have only one set of speakers connected to computer A.
To play audio from computer B on the same speakers i connected it to the line-in of computer A.

In Ubuntu 9.04 it was really easy to get this to work, just opened the channel at volume control.
On 9.10 its more difficult then it looks.

When i open the input channel at pavucontrol and turned mute off i still hear no audio from computer B.
What i found out (after a while of google'ing) is that you actually need to install gnome-alsamixer and open the channel there too before it works.

Could this get more user friendly so gnome-alsamixer isnt needed anymore ?
Is this a bug in povamonitor, or the way the fresh install of Ubuntu is set up ?
