Hi Gabriele, thanks for following up on this bug report, and sorry for my delay in replying. Now I am back with a decent Internet link and could retry to reproduce the problem. > please let us reproduce it, what site? YouTube, for instance. That's where I've just reproduced the bug, but I seem to remember to see it happening whenever mozilla-plugin-gnash was used inside my browser (galeon). Basically, as I said, every new video starts at 100 % volume and I have to manually adjust it to a sane value. > > We should go more in depth however upstream says that gnash uses the system > default. Which system default? The alsamixer settings? The only one at 100 is "Front", but I thought the important value was "Master" (which is 64) or maybe "PCM" (40). Or Jackd settings? I am not aware of any default volume setting that I can configure for jackd. The fact is that I am using an auto-starting jackd daemon, with alsa back-end. Now, as far as know, gnash relies on gstreamer, and thus cannot directly connect to a jackd daemon: can you confirm that? For clients that don't directly support jackd, I set up an alsa-->jackd-->alsa loop with the following configuration file: $ cat ~/.asoundrc # redirect the default ALSA device to JACK pcm.!default { type plug slave { pcm "jack" } } pcm.jack { type jack playback_ports { 0 alsa_pcm:playback_1 1 alsa_pcm:playback_2 } capture_ports { 0 alsa_pcm:capture_1 1 alsa_pcm:capture_2 } } If you want to read more details on my configuration, please see http://www.inventati.org/frx/doc/nanodocs/testing_workstation_audio.html where my updated setup is documented. > I think your issue may depend on the player which plays videos. What do you mean by "the player which plays videos"? The one implemented in flash and executed by gnash? -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/progs/scripts/pdebuild-hooks.html Need some pdebuild hook scripts? .....................................................
