Public bug reported:
Steps to reproduce:
1) Start playback of an audio file in Rhythmbox.
2) Suspend the system whilst the audio file is playing.
3) Wake the system from suspend, and the "password screen lock" dialog
appears. Notice that the audio resumes playing before the user enters their
password.
My particular use-case problem was that I frequently suspend my laptop
with my earbuds in (usually at high volume), and frequently resume the
system with the earbuds removed. The volume hotkeys do not work during
the password lock screen, so there's no way to mute the volume except by
entering the password. During which time, the system is blaring music
through the speakers.
Upon discussing with other people, I am beginning to question whether
the problem is not the volume hotkey buttons being inactive during
password lock screen, but rather with the sound card itself being active
during system lock screen.
For example, Person A is listening to an audio recording containing
sensitive information (a voice mail recording, for example), when they
suspend their system and step away. Person B can resume Person A's
system and listen to the rest of the audio file without entering any
credentials.
