Also kmplayer uses PCM, and I had trouble with it (embedded in Konqueror) altering PCM volume without my consent. I would appreciate it if someone checked this and marked this issue confirmed also for 'kmplayer', as it wouldn't be proper for me to do it myself.
It seems to me that the key to usability with colum control is _consistent_ behaviour across different applications and throughout the system. So, whatever the solution, it should not cause the kind of conflicts with different applications' volume sliders as reported here. (As an aside: Since a number of applications (I use mplayer) use and alter PCM volume, I've decided to partially circumvent the problem by making also the volume applet in my panel directly alter "PCM" volume instead of "main". I find myself sometimes having to call up the mixer and change both of them, though.) -- volume slider should not use PCM but software mixer or master volume https://launchpad.net/bugs/41871 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
