So imagine the average desktop user who gets five or so of them:
- one provided by the application (player or something) - one provided by PA or similar, - probably two by the soundcard mixer, PA combines these three into one. So the non-audio-engineer user should have a lot bigger chance of not messing things up with PA compared to with pure ALSA (where you do have to fiddle with all the mixers and the application mixer on top). Sorry if this was what you were trying to point out.
-t As a non-audio-engineer trying to adjust the sound level in vlc PA keep messing up my sound level (going to full 100%) any time I tried to adjust it. Just ask my wife for conformation as she didn't like the 100% volume every time I adjusted the sound level in vlc or xmms etc. So try to adjust the volume I did.....but wait I'll get it right this time....Turn the damn thing down!!!! She screamed. Ok just let me..... TURN THE DAMN THING OFF!!!
Removed PA and only using ALSA equals working properly. As a bonus there is peace in the house ;)
Did you try
flat-volumes = no
No just ripped out PA. That returned me back to what worked for me.
That might have solved that particular problem. However it is still odd that the default is to have flat-volumes = yes, which causes system wide jumps in volume every single time any app changes its volume. Not very user friendly for something that aims to be easy to use :p. I don't have any complains with the machine I use now though. -- Mauro Santos
