Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon
First of all, a quick introduction to the (unfortunately not very well-
known) component we have had for a few releases now, called libCanberra,
which is used for sound events in the same style as icons.
In upstream's gnome-settings-daemon, the system tries to play the audio-
volume-change sound effect when the user adjusts the volume with media
control keys.
Granted, the sound is unimplemented in Ubuntu's default sound theme, but it
absolutely exists in others. With the Freedesktop theme, the sound effect is an
extremely helpful "pop" noise that indicates what the new volume is.
Although it only affects users with different sound themes, losing this feature
is a regression. It also limits what can be done with Ubuntu's own sound theme,
if that gets updated at some point.
Here is how the sound is played in gnome-settings-daemon
./plugins/media-keys/gsd-media-keys-manager.c in the update_dialog function:
ca_gtk_play_for_widget (manager->priv->dialog, 0,
CA_PROP_EVENT_ID, "audio-volume-change",
CA_PROP_EVENT_DESCRIPTION, "volume changed through key press",
CA_PROP_APPLICATION_ID, "org.gnome.VolumeControl",
NULL);
With our patch to gnome-settings-daemon to use libnotify for this event,
update_dialog is never called. This is what causes our rather unfortunate
regression.
Please implement this feature for when a volume change is triggered in
the libnotify-using version of gnome-settings-daemon.
** Affects: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu)
