[pulseaudio-discuss] Why Gnome "System Sounds" is not a normal program?

[Roman Beslik]

Hello.

As far as I understand, PulseAudio uses an interesting strategy of 
routing sound to several sound cards. Instead of selecting a sound card 
in each client, a sound card is selected in a general program, e.g. 
"pavucontrol."

There is an exception. The program "System Sounds" is always present in 
"pavucontrol" but without a sound card list. Instead, I chose a sound 
card for system sounds in "gnome-sound-applet." This is inconvenient and 
even strange.
