[pulseaudio-discuss] Improvement suggestion

2011-02-12 Thread Olof
Hi!

This might be the wrong place but I didn't find anything better. I'm
using ubuntu 11.04 with pulseaudio 0.9.21-63-gd3efa-dirty.

I had severe problems getting a monitor to work because I didn't
understand that the button with a loudspeaker on the input tab in the
volume control was something one could click on. It looks exactly the
same whether the monitor is muted or not. I think there is room for
improvement here, some kind of indication that the current state is
muted and one can fix it by clicking here would be appreciated!
Thanks!

This does not make sense - Ubuntu 11.04 (as in Natty, the development 
version) is having 0.9.22 based Pulseaudio.

Are you talking about pavucontrol? I agree that the buttons could be 
clearer.

I played with a pulseaudio some time ago, maybe that why the version
is wrong. But it's still 0.9.21-63-gd3efa-dirty after doing a
reinstall of everything pulseaudio-related with the synaptic package
manager.

I invoke in through the icon in the taskbar and then a process
pavucontrol starts so yes, I guess so.

[pulseaudio-discuss] padevchooser quickly choose output device

2011-02-12 Thread Karl Ostmo
In the left-click menu of the padevchooser applet, I see a submenu for
Default Sink that lists these three items:
* No Network Devices Found (greyed-out)
* Default
* Other...

In the Output tab of my Sound Preferences application, I see these
options.
* Internal Audio Analog Stereo (my desktop speakers)
* HP Digital Stereo Headset Analog Stereo (my USB headphones)

Should I be able to see these somewhere in the padevchooser applet menu?

padevchooser was recommended by a commenter on this Ubuntu Brainstorm
suggestion:
http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/23754/
It would be great if this applet was capable of what is depicted in the
poster's screenshot mockup.

I am running Ubuntu 10.10.

Karl

I don't know. I have never used padevchooser.

padevchooser is deprecated, we don't recommend the program for anyone (I
don't remember the reasons - it was something about padevchooser doing
stupid things). There will be no new features in padevchooser. Vote for
the brainstorm idea, it sounds like a reasonable improvement to me.
