In GNOME with gnome-volume-control, you don't see any 'virtual' devices like that, you only see the actual hardware devices. So probably Kevin Kofler is the best to answer the question, and it may actually be best directed to the KDE list - I think this stuff originates in the Phonon / PA interface layer, not in PA itself. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
