Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: pavucontrol
There are many applications that often play very short sounds. I think
they usually leave their connection to Pulseaudio open all the time, but
for example, KDE applications (most notably those using KNotify) open a
connection to PulseAudio, play a short sound, and then close the
connection again. This makes the application appear for a second in
pavucontrol, then disappear; a time lapse too short to change settings
(for example, move the stream to a different output channel).
My expected behavior here is that the application stays around for, for
example, half a minute, maybe grayed out or something to indicate that
the application isn't connected anymore. I think this should be fixed in
Pavucontrol, but maybe I'm wrong and Pulseaudio itself should be changed
to fix this bug. Feel free to re-target if need be.
This could also be considered a papercut, maybe, but I think all 100
papercuts are already chosen, and a first-time user probably won't see
it on his first day of using Ubuntu since Pavucontrol could be
considered a more advanced application.
