Tunnel does not allow to alter hardware volume

[tefnet]

Since pulseaudio-0.9.7 routing through module-tunnel no longer allows me to control sound cards' mixer value.

setup A) pavucontrol --(tcp)--> pulseaudio1 --(device file)--> alsa allows to alter hardware mixer values.

In version 0.9.5 of pulseaudio this setup:

setup B) pavucontrol --(unix socket)--> pulseaudio2 --(tcp - tunnel)--> pulseaudio1 --(device file)--> alsa

allowed to control hardware mixer.

In version 0.9.7 and newer this is no longer true - it only alters tunnel sink volume in setup B). setup A) still works fine.

This was checked with pulseaudio-0.9.10 as well.

As already mentioned on IRC, this is considered a feature, not a bug.

And this will eventually be fixed when we get Vista-style "flat" volumes.

We now have flat volumes. Problem fixed.
