Description:
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.
