This bug has been opened here: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16730 "If I start Volume Control and make it not lock the two channels and set two different volume levels on the two channels, it will not be respected by mixer_applet. If I change the volume level with the applet it will set the volume level to the same on both channels. Feature or bug?"
Feature. At some point we wondered whether we should do per-channel volume setting in the applet, and it's all just too much. You'll open a can of technical and usability issues if you even start thinking about it.
so closing as NOTABUG, thanks
