Package: gnome-media Version: 2.30.0-1 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/gnome-volume-control-applet
My ThinkPad T43 have three volume control buttons. Volume Down, Volume Down, Mute. Normally they are handled in the hardware and control hardware postamplifier. This keys are not avialable using normal keyboard input. They are completly separate from keyboard. There is kernel module which exposes this controls as read-only Alsa Mixer. There is also tpb program for X11 which shows what is the current volume. What is important, is a semantic of this buttons. Pressing Mute ALWAYS mutes sound. Regredless of the current volume level or mute state. Pressing Up/Down changes volume, or brings sound back if it was in muted state. This semantic is very handy. I can always press Mute and be sure it will be in muted state. Currently this semantic was changed. I need to press Mute two times: once to bring it to the muted state, and once to bring it back to unmuted state. Also advantage of unidirectional state change associated with this button is lost. I can't just simply press Mute button to be sure no sound will appear. Because if it is already in muted state, and sound volume is very high, it will actually do exactly oposite! Actually even after unmuting in OS level, i still need to press Up/Down to unmute it on the OS level. Very annoing. I'm not sure I filled this bug agains correct package. More information can be found in the CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_ALSA_SUPPORT documentation in the kernel.
