Yes, I remember it. It was a nice feature to be able to set volume for particular sounds. I have two sound cards and my experiences say, that optimal solution should have even more: - It should be able to set not only volume, but also soundcard. For example, I want to play DVD using speakers connected to soundcard #1, but play GNOME event sounds using small speakers at the table (soundcard #0). - Customize hardware mixer. Something like: CD player /dev/hdc is connected to Soundcard #1 CD and by default wants to mute all other channels, TV tuner is connected to Soundcard #0 CD and by default wants to mute, GNOME sounds are going to PCM of Soundcard #1 and by default don't want to mute other channels, VoIP headset mic is connected to Soundcard #0 Mic and wants to set recording source etc.). - And finally, thin clients with soundcard need mixer (sound, CD playing) controllable over network. It can be realized in more levels (ALSA-over-IP, GStreamer network output, ESD). Currently only ESD can do it. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SuSE CR, s. r. o. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Drahobejlova 27 tel: +420 296 542 382 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 296 542 374 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
