BTW, this already existed long ago with ESD. There was a GTK1 app which could control applications sound volume individually. Can't remember its name though.

Re: New way to change volume
I thought we had this..? I rarely if ever touch the pcm control - I only use the volume applet if I need to adjust my volume levels quickly up or down. The volume applet controls the master volume. Say, I have rhythmbox and totem running, I can adjust the volume coming out of rhythmbox via its builtin volume control - this doesn't affect the pcm setting, only rhythmbox output. Same goes for totem - so I don't see your point, except maybe that you want to add these app-specific adjusters to the mixer? I think we already saw alot of cleanup of that dialog. The less is in there, the better, imho - and with every app doing its own volume levels, there's absolutely no need either ;) bah, bedtime On 10/9/05, Michaël Arnauts [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, This morning, I woke up, and had a great idea... Now, the volume control is used in a way the hardware works, you modify a PCM channel, to modify the output of all system sounds (movies, music, other things). I think it would be much userfriendlyer if it would work in the way the user works. I will give an example: A user is watching a movie in totem, and rhythmbox is running in the background. Now, there isn't a difference in the volume control, it would be nice if it could contain Totem and Rhythmbox as channels. And if you turn the volume of the Totem-channel down, the volume control in totem will turn down. That way, all the volumes can be controlled from inside the volume control, instead of only the PCM what is a total of all sounds. The volume of rhythmbox would be the same, as it is a different channel. Ofcourse, there has to be some Hardware channels also, for the MIC and LINE-IN. I'm not sure about CD, because that could be done by adjusting the volume of the Sound Juicer or your favourite audioplayer-channel. I suck at mockups, but I guess the explenation is pretty clear... Just split the PCM into different application-based channels, and name the other channels Hardware channels.

Another potential use case which might make sense is if a person wants to turn down the system sounds or start up sounds while still having banshee playing music. I realize this would probably be configured somewhere else (ie sound config tool), but assuming that we will continue to think off interesting methods of interacting with the user using sounds, it is something to consider.
