For a wayward application being permitted to use 100% volume is just undeniably bad, except maybe by the not so insignificant number of clubbers who've already had their hearing 50% damaged already, and therefore don't recognize the problem. Huh? Volume? Oh, yeah whatever, seems fine to me. Or did you say you wanted to go to lunch? If there's a way for PA flat volume to be enhanced in this fashion (seems like mainly a UI feature that may not even involve PA itself), that might be a better work around than not implementing flat volumes. It'd be more consistently fail safe anyway than either the current or legacy behaviors. -- Chris Murphy -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
