Hello users,
I'd like to ask the users here what would they think about changing Pulseaudio's default flat-volumes=yes to flat-volumes=no, to prevent apps like VLC or Amarok or the sound notification popup from modyfing the master sound level on your openSUSE distro.
So if I set master to 50% it stay's at 50% and doesn't change when I change Amarok's volume to 100% or 20% for example. That would mean that 100% from Amarok = 50% from master.
Thanks a lot for this post; I wasn't aware that this option exists. (For others like me: I found it in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf) I tried it and immediately added it to our puppet configuration.
It's a much more sane default, go for it.

Seems to be a better default, still the people that develop Pulseaudio think that the opposite is true.
We still need some more people to "voice" their opinion on this matter. Maybe also post a little info about your audio setup.
For example: KDE 4.12.x DE using Pavucontrol and Kmix.
I already posted my audio setup. I'm asking for the info to make sure that others that don't use KDE for example benefit or like the option also. Anyone using Gnome or another DE or maybe a separate WM here? What do you think.
Also to get this we probably need to upvote a feature (if it still exists on openFATE or create a new one).

I'm planning to play with this today. Its always annoyed me a little when trying to tone down some youtube video screws up the whole music player. I've also found those Pulse dev guys are pretty hard to deal with, probably from years of dealing with users while their product pretty much sucked, and now that it works pretty well they are still acting all defensive. They are no where near as bad as the petulant Amarok divas, who will insult you for even making a polite suggestion. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
