Bug#451203: gnome-applets: mixer-applet shows mute when not muted, after changing volume

[Paul Brossier]

Package: gnome-applets
Version: 2.20.1-2

Hi!

driver bug or not, the same behaviour appears on my iBook G4 with the
snd-powermac module. sometimes, the mixer icon is set to muted whereas
the sound is not.

here gnome-keybindings-properties vol +/- are set to 0xb0/0xae.

these keys are also watched by pbbuttonsd.

if pbbuttonsd is running, the volume applet icon is correct, but i
can clearly see the icon flashing once when going from one region
(mute,1,2,3) to the other.

stopping pbbuttonsd appears to prevent this behaviour, but I don't know
yet if it prevents the 'muted-when-not' one.

cheers, piem
