Setting stream volume to 0% is not equivalent to silence

Description

Changing the volume of a stream to 0% doesn't seem to actually silence that stream, regardless of whether it's from the xmms pulseaudio plugin, or an RTP stream. As this is the software volume control, rather than the device volume, I'm guessing that the volume function isn't being passed 0.0.

Software versions are 0.9.5-5ubuntu4.1 on Ubunutu feisty.

This is a limitation of you hardware which doesn't trun the volume off completely when at the minimal level.

PA will eventually start to ignore volume controls like that and fall back to sw vol control.

  • type changed from defect to enhancement.

I plan to extend in software the range of all volume controls to the same eventually in which case the problem will go away.

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to fixed.
  • milestone set to 0.9.12.

PA from git will now extend the hardware volume to the full range if necessary.
