Description Bastien Nocera 2011-03-27 04:25:47 UTC 
As OS X allows, and similarly to the "Suspend/Power Off" easter egg in the main menu, we could show default inputs and outputs in the sound menu when Alt is pressed, allowing for quick switching between inputs and outputs.

Comment 5 GNOME Infrastructure Team 2021-07-05 14:16:57 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of  gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
