Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-media
Better integration is needed between gnome-volume-control and pulseaudio
re volume control. This is probably a wishlist item.
Pulseaudio allows you to adjust volume between 0 and 480%. This is
fantastic, especially for computers with low inputs and outputs like
mine. But the volume sliders in gnome-volume-control only go to 100%.
So:
a) When you adjust the pulseaudio slider, the corresponding gnome-
volume-control slider moves, but stops at 100% and doesn't display the
actual value.
b) If you try to adjust the gnome-volume-control-slider, it immediately
resets the pulseaudio volume slider back to 100%.
The attached image illustrates this. The pulseaudio volume controls are
obtained by running PulseAudioManager and then selecting Manager from
its notification panel control and then double-clicking on the
appropriate device in the Devices tab. In Jaunty, the gnome-volume-
control is in the notification panel as well.
The gnome volume control applet in the notification panel does know that
the volume is over 100% (its pop-up hint says, for instance "Output:
127% 29.77 db", but its slider also is limited to 100% and if you use
this slider to adjust the volume, it resets it to 100%.
What I think should happen is that the gnome-volume-control sliders
shouldn't be limited to 100%, and if pulseaudio directs that the volume
has gone above 100%, gnome-volume-control's sliders should reflect this
correctly.
