Package: hotkeys Version: 0.5.7.4-0.1 Severity: normal It would be nice if the use of /dev/mixer was not hardcoded into hotkeys. Ideally, many mixers could be supplied (in the conf file or on the commandline), and hotkeys wouldn't care if all of them existed at any one time -- it would just try to set each one in turn when asked to change the volume/mute, and if a device failed because an external soundcard wasn't plugged in, hotkeys simply wouldn't care -- it would try again next time the user tried to change the volume.
Since all the soundcards would start off in the general case with different volume settings, when starting up, simply query the master volume settings of the first card supplied, and use it as "master" for all the other soundcards. This would go well on my laptop, when I occasionally plug in a dolby 5.1 external set of headphones, and want the volume control to adjust them too. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU, LC_CTYPE=en_AU (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages hotkeys depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.22.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.4.14-1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdb4.5 4.5.20-11 Berkeley v4.5 Database Libraries [ ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.3-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.9-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpango1.0-0 1.20.0-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxml2 2.6.31.dfsg-2 GNOME XML library ii libxmu6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous utility library hi libxosd2 2.2.14-1.3 X On-Screen Display library - runt hotkeys recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
