Patch to round to nearest representative value (1.24 KB, patch)

Description Jan Schmidt 2004-03-15 23:31:41 UTC 
I'm not quite sure what the difference in the elements is, but when the
gnome mixer_applet uses ossmixer, the volume control is fine. When using
alsamixer, the mixer_applet constantly decreases the volume, about one
notch per second.

It seems like the mixer_applet sets the volume then reads it back, but it
reads it back as (n-1) to the (n) it set.. so it sets the volume to (n-1)
and reads it back as (n-2), etc.

The gnome_volume_control application seems to work fine, it's just the
mixer applet.

How does one debug a panel applet? I don't know how to get access to stdout
or to run it with different gst-debug flags

Attaching a patch that makes the mixer applet round to the nearest
representative value for slider<->mixer conversions instead of always
rounding down.

Thanks for the patch. The way to debug is to run the applet binary
from the command line, and then add it to the panel using the usual
right click menu on the panel.
