Well, since pulseaudio was the component recalculating the volume for every track, and gnome-volume-control-applet seems to want to start pulseaudio even though I removed it from the startup applications, I'd say that was a big part of the problem.
In any event, the only solution for me was to remove pulseaudio altogether, remove gnome-volume-control-applet from startup and go back to mixer_applet2. --- On Mon, 12/14/09, Josselin Mouette <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Josselin Mouette <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: Bug#556948: Pulseaudio is recalculating the volume at the start > of every track > To: "Dominique Brazziel" <[email protected]>, [email protected] > Date: Monday, December 14, 2009, 6:04 AM > Le dimanche 13 décembre 2009 à > 15:02 -0500, Dominique Brazziel a > écrit : > > Another issue that might have some bearing on this > > bug: In trying to stop pulseaudio from > autostarting, > > I found out that the .desktop file for > > 'gnome-volume-control-applet' has the following > > key in it: > > > > 'TryExec=/usr/bin/pulseaudio' > > Indeed it has. > > What does it have to do with your current problem? > > -- > .''`.
