[pulseaudio-discuss] Set, lock and hide volume controls of sinks, sources, streams and applications?

[Rene Bartsch]

Hi,

chaining sinks, sources, streams and applications creates a chain of 
superfluos volume-controls baffling the users (e.g. Rhythmbox -> 
rtp-send -> rtp-recv -> null-sink -> pacat = 5x volume control). Users 
usually change the volume on all volume-controls in a chain resulting in 
completely wrong volumes.

PACtl can be used to set the volume of sinks, sources, streams and 
applications. Is there any way to lock the volume (e.g. 0 dB) and hide 
the volume-control sliders in applications like PAVUControl?
