I use it because of the simplest ever use case not yet covered by PA: - PCM volume at 100% -> jerky sound PA assumes that I have PCM at 100% and I only need to adjust Master, this is broken at least in my card (intel8x0) because if I were to put PCM at 100% I would get quite jerky sound (imagine a batteries fm radio). Right now PA only allows me to adjust Master, which is quite useless for me. So what I do is having Master at 100% and PCM around 70%, if laptop speaker volume (hw control) is not strong enough I go to gst-mixer and adjust PCM up a little bit, giving away quality for some loudness. Not having gst-mixer would mean either having PCM at 100% all the time and getting jerky sound or having to go console or use some ugly thing like gnome-alsamixer. If it's not hurting anyone, please keep gst-mixer in the package. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
