This patch adds
audio/output_volume
configuration option, that makes volume slider change volume of gstreamer sink element. (eg. native pulseaudio volume) This is disabled by default to keep the behaviour backward compatible.This has been reported on https://discuss.mopidy.com/t/softwaremixer-and-pulseaudio/1644/9 and discussed on IRC a couple of weeks ago.
I'm publishing it here just to get some feedback from developers.
Right now, if there is no element implementing
GstStreamVolume
, this will fallback to default behaviour (using intermediatevolume
element), which might be slightly misleading (it should at least throw some sort of warning, unless it becomes enabled by default)
