Since humanity (and the ubuntu-mono themes) ship different icons for volume = 0 and mute, and at this point in most cases people will change volume levels using the sound indicator, I think we can mark the bug against gnome-media as Invalid (like it was set upstream).
Setting the sound level to zero in gnome-media still sets the sound to muted, but the icon in the indicator will show users the difference anyway. When muted, opening the indicator-sound menu also allows unmuting by just moving the sound level slider widget. ** Changed in: gnome-media (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444548 Title: Not having a muted icon for the volume applet causes confusion -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
