I still have not been able to get the GNOME volume applet working and
I could really use help from someone that knows the Pulse/ALSA/LTSP
setup. I assume Pulse is LTSP-5 and not just Edubuntu specific.
Sound plays fine on the LTSP thin clients. Running alsamixer on the
LTSP server works -- it only shows one volume control and the driver
is "pulseaudio".
But, the GNOME volume applet does not control the volume -- and its
preferences only list OSS and ALSA drivers, nothing about pulse. I'm
not clear if the applet's preferences should list Pulse normally,
though.
Why is it that alsamixer knows to use pulse, but GNOME volume applet
does not?
Assuming that the applet should work -- can someone explain how Pulse
and ALSA are setup such that the volume applet will know about Pulse,
just like alsamixer seems to know automatically?
With pulse is the volume adjustment done on the audio stream on the
LTPS server side, or does the volume adjustment get passed over the
network to the client where it controls the hardware volume on the
thin client's card?
