--- Comment #2 from Jonathan Marten <[email protected]> --- Yes, it is not a bug in the sense that it is working as designed, but functionality is now broken in certain use cases. Before this implementation it was possible to run a Plasma session without PulseAudio - obviously the volume control applet would not work, but that is directly involved with sound output and so would be expected, and alternatives are available. Suddenly, though, a setup which would previously have been working perfectly cannot even run a task manager, for reasons unconnected to task management. IMHO the scrolling volume control implementation, although useful, should not be implemented directly in the task manager. If configured, the task manager should detect the wheel event and broadcast a DBus signal giving a task ID, scroll amount and direction. This could then be picked up by plasma-pa and actioned. An alternative volume control could also catch the same DBus signal, which would allow volume scrolling from the task manager to be implemented on non-PulseAudio systems. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
