Often, doing so with (say) a high-level CD input, will lead to clipping somewhere in the hardware as soon as you add another signal. You have more than one volume control for a reason. > This should fix a lot of problems for a lot of people. However it will > of course also annoy Mr. Lerwick.

This is - perhaps understandably, from reading the preceding discussion - being completely dismissive of a real user with, from his point of view, a valid complaint and use case. What makes him (and I, and others) upset is the clear fact that you're not interested in "supporting" our use-cases *at all* ... and we don't have any particularly bizarre needs. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
