Description Seth Nickell 2001-10-01 18:54:30 UTC 
The sound capplet as it stands today should be removed. Having a beginning
user preference for "enable sound server startup" is archane. If it really
needs to exist (yes, I have toggled this myself, because libesd is broken
and causes applications to hang ifit finds a broken server...a fix is in
CVS so we just need a release of libesd) it shouldbe in the cracklet
section. (That said, I can think of useful things to have in a sound
capplet, its just that the existing items aren't it :-)

Having the sound capplet change sound settings (such as volume, balance,
etc) would be fine, or having the sound capplet assign sounds to events
would be fine. But until it is used for this, it would be better to remove it.

Setting priority to Enhancement.

Just doing some tagging of files I've already triaged. Filter on 'luis doing
GNOME2 work' to get rid of the spam.
Comment 3 Seth Nickell 2002-03-01 04:21:00 UTC 
Sound capplet now assigns events as well. Post 2.0 it won't be too
hard to embed a mixer control in it too, snatched from gnome-media.
Marking fixed.
