Kevin, I know that you are proud of kde, and thats fine, but its

getting tiring to see you jump in any thread where a Gnome application
is discussed, and advertise the kde equivalent.
Well, he was asking for a graphical alternative to alsamixer, which is what
KMix is. Now there may be other alternatives from XFCE etc., but I'm afraid
I'm not familiar with those. As for GNOME:
And don't talk about things if you have no idea whats going on.
"They"
don't want you to use pavucontrol instead.
The plans for volume control in F11 have been laid out here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/VolumeControl
Indeed I wasn't aware of this. Mea culpa, and thanks for pointing it out to
me.
However, quoting from that feature page, this:
Graphical mixers (such as the volume applet, the mixer, and the
multimedia
keys handler) should be restricted to modifying PulseAudio's default
output's mixer (which could be aggregated outputs).
sounds like I wasn't
too far off.
Now maybe that page is incorrect, so I'll ask: What options are there for
people who want to tweak their hardware mixer settings from GNOME for
whatever reason? Will this be possible from the volume applet/icon? From
the gnome-control-center? Or only from non-GNOME apps (e.g. alsamixer, KMix
etc.)?
