Bug Description

In Breezy, I find the volume applet quite flaky.

I have two sound cards:

aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: rev50 [VIA 82C686A/B rev50], device 0: VIA 82C686A/B rev50 [VIA
82C686A/B rev50]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: Headset [Logitech USB Headset], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

When I choose one of them to be default, I think that the volume applet should
change the sound card it controls too. Otherwise I find it very confusing.

Can anyone test this out with a Feisty nightly and/or a currently updated Edgy so we can see if this bug still exists?

I can confirm this in a way. I think the nature of the problem changed slightly. With recent Feisty i set all audio outputs (and the capture) to USB audio, which was plugged in after the system booted.

All new applications use the USB Headset correctly, but applet still follows the default audio device. The whole issue is even more complex now that the new audio configuration panel was introduced, one could have more than one default audio output, which one should the applet control?

This should be fixed in Karmic through using Pulseaudio for all sound settings. I am pretty sure that it won't be backported.
