Which is annoying as hell. I have another manifestation of this problem: 1. Notification volume set to 100% 2. Totem plays music, volume set to 60%. 3. Gajim plays sound using canberra-gtk-play. Global volume jumps to 100% while the sound is playing. So during the event sound playback, Totem is playing at 100% (not 60% as it set). 4. When canberra-gtk-play finishes, global volume drops to 60%. -- Tomasz Torcz "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station xmpp: zdzichubg at chrome.pl wagon filled with backup tapes." -- Jim Gray
