[Pkg-mactel-devel] Bug#725427: pommed: Should be able to mute more or less than 2 channels

[Riccardo Boninsegna]

Package: pommed
Version: 1.39~dfsg-2+b1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

The volume control part of pommed is implemented by mapping the volume buttons
to the levels of one ALSA channel (ideally the master level) and the mute
button to the on/off status of two channels (in the default config, Speakers
and Headphones).

On a MacbookPro8,1 with a mostly clean base Wheezy + task-lxde-desktop, either
the "Master" channel has to be muted or all 3 of "Headphones", "Front Speaker"
and "Surround Speaker" to completely disable sound output, neither of which
appears to be possible according to the configuration file.

In the meanwhile I remapped the headphone control to the woofer.
