Was following you up till this "IMO, we should start by getting rid of the system-wide volume."
read that line again, now consider that all popular os' have this function. Windows, osx, linux, android, iphone, etc. etc. Think of how you record volume in a record studio. Do you go around and adjust the volume on each instrument? Or do you use a mixer because it gives you all control as close to you finger tips as possible. For the same reason a global volume and mixer are good, windows has a dock bar and osx has the tray. Full control at the palm of your hands not only works but is a hard proposition to turn down. Oh! another example, Canonicals Landscape. In networks there are literally hundreds of applications that try to imitate what a mixer or dockbar do so well. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
