Package: vlc Version: 2.0.3-4 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I use a little ear-phone on my computer, and adjust the system volume to about 20%, which is comfortable. I open the VLC player and want to adjust the volume a little higher. VLC displays the current volume is 100%, so I adjust it to 147%, and I heared a very loud sound I have never imaged. It turned out that VLC adjust the system volume from 20% to 147%, while the volume 100% it displays is entirely false and misleading. I think my hearing is hurt since my ear is rather uncomfortable since then. I think this is bug both of pulse audio and vlc, so I report bug on both pulseaudio and vlc. It is a bug of pulseaudio because it use a default setting that applications don't have independent volume control. otherwise the volume whill not grow to 147% but rather 20%*147% = 29.4%. It is apperently a bug of vlc because it displays a very misleading current volume 100% rather of 20%. Even if some adjust to the volume from 100% to 95%, it will cause the volume suddenly jumps from 20% to 95%. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages vlc depends on: ii dpkg 1.16.9 ii fonts-freefont-ttf 20120503-1 ii libaa1 1.4p5-40 ii libavcodec53 6:0.8.4-1 ii libavutil51 6:0.8.4-1 ii libc6 2.13-37 ii libcaca0 0.99.beta18-1 ii libfreetype6 2.4.9-1 ii libfribidi0 0.19.2-3 ii libgcc1 1:4.7.2-4 ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 8.0.5-3 ii libice6 2:1.0.8-2 ii libqtcore4 4:4.8.2+dfsg-2 ii libqtgui4 4:4.8.2+dfsg-2 ii libsdl-image1.2 1.2.12-2 ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.15-5 ii libsm6 2:1.2.1-2 ii libstdc++6 4.7.2-4 ii libtar0 1.2.16-1 ii libva-x11-1 1.0.15-4 ii libva1 1.0.15-4 ii libvlccore5 2.0.3-4 ii libx11-6 2:1.5.0-1 ii libxcb-composite0 1.8.1-2 ii libxcb-keysyms1 0.3.9-1 ii libxcb-randr0 1.8.1-2 ii libxcb-render0 1.8.1-2 ii libxcb-shape0 1.8.1-2 ii libxcb-shm0 1.8.1-2 ii libxcb-xfixes0 1.8.1-2 ii libxcb-xv0 1.8.1-2 ii libxcb1 1.8.1-2 ii libxext6 2:1.3.1-2 ii libxinerama1 2:1.1.2-1 ii libxpm4 1:3.5.10-1 ii vlc-nox 2.0.3-4 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.7.dfsg-13 Versions of packages vlc recommends: ii vlc-plugin-notify 2.0.3-4 ii vlc-plugin-pulse 2.0.3-4 ii xdg-utils 1.1.0~rc1+git20111210-6 Versions of packages vlc suggests: pn videolan-doc <none> Versions of packages vlc-nox depends on: ii dpkg 1.16.9 ii liba52-0.7.4 0.7.4-16 ii libasound2 1.0.25-4 ii libass4 0.10.0-3 ii libavahi-client3 0.6.31-1 ii libavahi-common3 0.6.31-1 ii libavc1394-0 0.5.4-1 ii libavcodec53 6:0.8.4-1 ii libavformat53 6:0.8.4-1 ii libavutil51 6:0.8.4-1 ii libbluray1 1:0.2.2-1 ii libc6 2.13-37 ii libcddb2 1.3.2-3 ii libcdio13 0.83-4 ii libcrystalhd3 1:0.0~git20110715.fdd2f19-7 ii libdbus-1-3 1.6.8-1 ii libdc1394-22 2.2.0-2 ii libdca0 0.0.5-5 ii libdirac-decoder0 1.0.2-6 ii libdirac-encoder0 1.0.2-6 ii libdirectfb-1.2-9 1.2.10.0-5 ii libdvbpsi7 0.2.2-1 ii libdvdnav4 4.2.0+20120524-2 ii libdvdread4 4.2.0+20120521-2 ii libebml3 1.2.2-2 ii libfaad2 2.7-8 ii libflac8 1.2.1-6 ii libfontconfig1 2.9.0-7 ii libfreetype6 2.4.9-1 ii libfribidi0 0.19.2-3 ii libgcc1 1:4.7.2-4 ii libgcrypt11 1.5.0-3 ii libgnutls26 2.12.20-2 ii libgpg-error0 1.10-3.1 ii libiso9660-8 0.83-4 ii libkate1 0.4.1-1 ii liblircclient0 0.9.0~pre1-1 ii liblua5.1-0 5.1.5-4 ii libmad0 0.15.1b-7 ii libmatroska5 1.3.0-2 ii libmodplug1 1:0.8.8.4-3 ii libmpcdec6 2:0.1~r459-4 ii libmpeg2-4 0.4.1-3 ii libmtp9 1.1.3-35-g0ece104-4 ii libncursesw5 5.9-10 ii libogg0 1.3.0-4 ii libpng12-0 1.2.49-1 ii libpostproc52 6:0.8.4-1 ii libproxy0 0.3.1-5.1 ii libraw1394-11 2.0.9-1 ii libresid-builder0c2a 2.1.1-13 ii libsamplerate0 0.1.8-5 ii libschroedinger-1.0-0 1.0.11-2 ii libshout3 2.2.2-8 ii libsidplay2 2.1.1-13 ii libsmbclient 2:3.6.6-3 ii libspeex1 1.2~rc1-7 ii libspeexdsp1 1.2~rc1-7 ii libstdc++6 4.7.2-4 ii libswscale2 6:0.8.4-1 ii libtag1c2a 1.7.2-1 ii libtheora0 1.1.1+dfsg.1-3.1 ii libtinfo5 5.9-10 ii libtwolame0 0.3.13-1 ii libudev0 175-7 ii libupnp6 1:1.6.17-1.1 ii libusb-1.0-0 2:1.0.11-1 ii libv4l-0 0.8.8-3 ii libvcdinfo0 0.7.24-1+b1 ii libvlc5 2.0.3-4 ii libvlccore5 2.0.3-4 ii libvorbis0a 1.3.2-1.3 ii libvorbisenc2 1.3.2-1.3 ii libx264-123 2:0.123.2189+git35cf912-1 ii libxml2 2.8.0+dfsg1-7 ii libzvbi0 0.2.33-6 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.7.dfsg-13 Versions of packages libvlc5 depends on: ii dpkg 1.16.9 ii libc6 2.13-37 ii libvlccore5 2.0.3-4 Versions of packages libvlccore5 depends on: ii dpkg 1.16.9 ii libc6 2.13-37 ii libdbus-1-3 1.6.8-1 ii vlc-data 2.0.3-4 Versions of packages vlc is related to: ii libavutil50 5:0.7.11-0.1 ii libavutil51 6:0.8.4-1 -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
