Well, 1.5 sec may be too often if you don't use the applet, but then you might as well delete it from your panel, but 5 sec is unacceptable if you do use it. If think 1.5 is a good compromise, of course avoiding polling altogether would be best.

I suggest we leave this patch as it is for now and ask Brian to work with the audio team (or whatever it's called) to make this happen. Laca
