Description Kjel Oslund 2008-02-19 20:50:58 UTC 
the mixer applet should be modified to use as a default mixer the value of gconf key /desktop/gnome/sound/default_mixer which is set by the sound preferences gnome control center application. That key is also used by gnome-settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys to select the mixer used to change volumes using media keys. The mixer applet currently uses a private gconf key /apps/panel/applets/applet_1/pref/active-element (if it exists) or just uses the first active mixer. Both applications should agree on how to select the volume control track.

Is this the same issue as bug 458016?
Comment 2 Kjel Oslund 2008-04-09 18:03:39 UTC 
Re comment #1. No it's not the same bug, but the two problems are probably related. I'd have to go back and read the code again, it's been awhile since I looked at this problem.
