In that case you might want to restore a (group) setting that you used before. The problem is that streams that automatically get remapped to another sink input - this happens "spontaneously" from the user perspective, probably as a result of a "stuttering" steam - also have these group settings applied. So the remapped stream now suddenly has different mute and volume settings, with a startling result. So what the software should do is distinguish between these two situations: When a stream is first linked to a sink input (when the stream is created/started) it is fine to apply group settings, but when a stream is merely remapped to the next sink input no changes to volume and mute settings should be made. I don't claim to have a complete solution or even a partial one, only the suggestion: Make the software distinguish between initial mapping and remapping of input sinks so the restoration module can make a choice whether to apply the group settings or not. I've only been studying the code since a few days and will certainly not claim to understand all the ins and outs or know how to implement the suggestion I make. It's just that I am looking for a solution to a situation where I suddenly hear (a possibly quite loud) stream coming from my speakers without having touched the volume settings. I guess for now I have to live with providing a unique module-stream-restore.id via PULSE_PROPS to every stream I start to remedy this situation.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
