pulse alsa plugin volume/control/slider doesn't work (completely)

Reported by: i10neorg Owned by: ossman
Milestone: Component: alsa-plugins-pulse
Keywords: Cc:

Description

For example, open alsamixer and try to adjust the volume/control/slider provided by the pulse alsa plugin with the up/down arrow keys. No go.

What doesn't work: alsamixer arrow keys, amixer set "exact hardware value".

What does work: alsamixer numberkeys, amixer percentages.

This apparently isn't a bug but rather happens because alsamixer moves the volume in tiny increments. As pulseaudio has a large number of increments compared to normal alsa it can take a few minutes of holding a button to see a change. Check and report back!

That's exactly what is happening, thanks for taking the time to reply, and sorry for the noise.

I confirmed by doing an "amixer scontents", using the up or down arrow key on the pulse slider, looking at another "amixer scontents" and comparing. Sure enough, there is an adjustment within the 65k possible values.

I added an entry to the faq addressing my confusion [faq version when entry first appeared].
