Maybe there is a possible solution, mostly workaround but needs some code to be written.
Situation: keyboard shortcuts control 'main' mixer, volume applet controls both 'main' and 'PCM' together; to really change volume while using headphones, you need to change 'PCM'. Possible solution: keyboard shortcuts will remain changing only 'main' but volume applet could see the change of volume (it already does because it changes itself visually) and update 'PCM' (the other applet- controlled mixer) accordingly. What do you think? -- There is no way to control which sound device or mixer the keyboard shortcuts use https://launchpad.net/bugs/22876 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
