Subject: audacious: Volume decreases with every new song

Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2009 12:36:50 -0600

Package: audacious
Version: 2.1-1+b1
Severity: important


Using the PulseAudio output plugin (in plugins-extra, with pulseaudio
0.9.15-4.1), every time the playlist advances, volume decreases.

Using the PulseAudio volume control I just saw 64% -> 31% -> 0, 80% ->
48% -> 15% -> 0%, 100% -> 67% -> 35% -> 2%: call it a decrease of
about 32 volume percentage points each new track).  This happens
during normal playlist advance, when selecting a new song, or when
pressing "forward to next song", or "audacious2 -f" etc.

I have not seen this happen with ALSA plugin, but ALSA output has its
own problems so it is a poor workaround...

PulseAudio output plugin has been removed upstream (in part because of
this very problem) in favor of outputting to PulseAudio through ALSA.

If you have problems with ALSA output, please report them.
