The problem is that the volume knob controls both of our volumes, since we're sharing a sound card. And when I turn up the volume in the gnome volume control applet, her KDE desktop gets louder as well. Is there any way to separate the volume on a per-desktop basis, so that I can make her clicks and whirs quieter and my music louder? I have a multiseat, but 2 soundcards...

I can think of two ways: 1. two separate soundcards 2. volume control in the application itself Many applications I know don't have a separate volume control, they use the main PCM volume for this, so the only option guaranteed to work that I know of is nr. 1 Regards, Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
