With flat volumes, applications can and do set the system volume to 100%. I've received numerous complaints about this. It's particularly frustrating when watching YouTube videos, since YouTube sets the system volume to 1 when starting a video. We are still waiting for some promised "browsers API" in PulseAudio to fix this easily. I think it's telling that this thread is full of complaints about flat volumes, with no supporters. Also, Ubuntu does not seem to be getting any complaints about the lack of flat volumes. :) Michael -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
