It's a aucat "feature" (limitation), trivial to change though.
Should we allow the volume of not-yet-created streams to be
changed?
I see no drawback of doing so
hmm. maybe I'm misunderstanding something. the description of
the '-v' option in aucat(1) says "In server mode, clients inherit
this paramter." so, if I start aucat with 'aucat -l -v 90', then
each client's initial volume will be 90, but it can still be set
to 127, and it would be the same overall volume as if I had started
aucat with 'aucat -l' and then set a client's volume to 127?
in other words, this patch lets you set the initial volume of
each client separately, as opposed to, or actually, in addition
to, setting the initial volume of all clients at server startup,
correct?
I could definitely see uses for this.
I just tested this.
I tried pkill aucat and then -v 67
then mplayer -> got full volume.
Then I tried -v 12
then mplayer -> still full volume.
