Package: banshee
Version: 2.6.0-1+b1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Banshee 3.6 is doing unusual things to audio playback on my system.
When I start playing music in Banshee, my system volume immediately jumps to
100%, which is very unpleasant when using headphones. Also, audio output seems
to be forced to some sort of mono output rather than proper stereo output.
While Banshee is playing audio, other system sounds and audio from other
applications is not played back correctly, once Banshee is shut down audio
playback from other applications seems to revert to normal. I can adjust the
system volume down back down while Banshee is playing, but if I stop audio
playback then restart it it gets pushed back up to 100%.
I thought at first this might be an issue with the Debian package, however
installing a package built for Ubuntu also has the same problem, while the same
package on Ubuntu does not have this problem. Both OSes are on the same
hardware, and both OSes are using the same or equivalent versions of GStreamer
packages (a number of which I've had to hold back due to causing an issue with
Banshee and Rhythmbox music playback stalling at the beginning of a FLAC track
when the previous track was an MP3...).
I'm not sure if this is a problem specific to Banshee (since a package from
Ubuntu causes the same problem on Debian but works fine on Ubuntu), but I do
not know what other package might be responsible since downgrading Banshee to
3.4 makes the problem go away.
If someone could point me in the right direction and help me narrow down the
appropriate package, I would appreciate it.
