Nate Graham <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] Ever confirmed|0 |1 Resolution|INTENTIONAL |--- Status|RESOLVED |REOPENED --- Comment #11 from Nate Graham <[email protected]> --- The Phonon KCM has now been removed, so there is no longer a technical barrier to implementing switch-on-connect. Any remaining objections are whether or not the user experience is better than the current one. Re-opening the bug so we can have that discussion. If I'm understanding correctly, the objection to switch-on-connect is that if the user plugs in a new device such as an HDMI monitor whose transport protocol has both audio and video capabilities, but the device does not actually have speakers capabilities, then switch-on-connect behavior will inappropriately cause audio to be inappropriately routed there anyway, effectively muting the system. If this is accurate, is there any way we can add some more intelligence to detect devices that could-but-don't handle audio output and avoid automatically switching to them? Or would that have to be done in the PulseAudio switch-on-connect module itself? Or something else? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
