@Dave Gilbert Volume 0 is the same as mute. If it is not now, then it should be. Clearly, gnome people understand this: if the volume is zero they show the muted icon.
That said, feel free to reopen bug 24090. You may also ask directly to GNOME people (http://bugs.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=319139) whether they think this is a bug in gnome or in alsa. (10155 was the bug number of bug 16454 when Ubuntu was using bugzilla) -- sound still comes out of speakers when PCM volume is set to 0 https://launchpad.net/bugs/16454 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
