HEXcube, thanks for taking the time to attaching the patch, however for a fix to be backported into the stable releases it must land in the current development release (Xenial) first. However that said, I mostly agree with upstream here and would not want to see it incorporated into ubuntu except as a last resort, it really is just a hidden magic button that glosses over potentially real bugs.
First I see reports (mostly in the upstream report) that people are getting 10-30% steps in volume instead of the defined 6%. That is clearly a bug, and should be fixed first since it is really unclear how much that is contributing to the reported issues. Second using a linear scale for a volume slider is really not ideal, pulse audio uses a cubic scale to define volume, but from a quick glance at the source code it may be that g-s-d is plugging linear values into these structures. IF that is indeed true, then it is also going to mess up the actual steps, of the actual audio volume. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/871133 Title: Volume Step not changeable in Unity and GNOME desktops To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/871133/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
