It seems that pulseaudio has its own mixer control (not |
11 |
included in gentoo's pulseaudio package) so maybe it does |
12 |
make sense to remove that function from gnome's volume |
13 |
control applet. |

However, the most important thing I learned is that I have |
16 |
no use whatever for pulseaudio -- and I doubt that many |
17 |
other people do, either. |

It seems to be a massively complex solution hunting for a |
20 |
problem. How many of us want/need to play two or more |
21 |
soundtracks at the same time? |

If I'm wrong about this, please correct me. I'd like to |
