Bug#576363: gnome volume applet works, keyboard shortcuts do not

[jamesb]

Package: gnome-media
Version: 2.22.0-3
Severity: normal

There are two sound devices. One onboard and one offboard.

The offboard one was installed after having used the onboard for a simpl
e sound speaker capability, no microphone or other capture needed.
The offboard one was installed for the same purpose some weeks later..

In order to use the offboard (usb audio device), with the convenience 
of the volume applet, i changed the sounddevice+speaker setting 
appropriately.

Now my system is setup with these two devices, but since I installed the usb usb 
device, it's the only one I bother using. I never blacklisted the onboard.(If
I later determine it'll help solve my problem, I'll blacklist it, but this 
isn't the proper way of fixing things i believe)

The volume applet (clicking on the panel icon and then clicking the
graphical scroll level control) works when using the graphical 
scroller from the panel.

The only thing more I expected to work was the keyboard shortcuts, 
the gnome's keyboard shortcut had worked for the onboard.

I attempted to reassign the keyboard shortcut for volume up/down to 
other keys, but I get the same symptom: 
 a volumebar popup display showing in middle of screen, and it does
 exhibit increase/decrease volumebar, but has no effect on the audio
 speaker which it is supposed to alter. (it actually changes usb device's
 micrphone level of that same offboard usb audio device, which i can confirm
  by watching the level in alsamixer in consolebox)

This must be a very bening bug somewhere so I'm reporting this bug not as
a critical one.. hopefully I'm reporting this bug to the correct correspondents
...am still not hundred percent sure this is the right place to reportbug this..

thanks for any feedback.. keep up the good work..
