Synopsis: Setting preferred sound device for esound
Bugzilla-Product: control-center
Bugzilla-Component: sound
Bugzilla-Version: 2.6.x
Description:
Please describe your feature request:

I have two soundcards in my box. gnome-sound-properties should be the
place to configure which one of them should be used by esd, given that
there is no way to pass command line arguments to esd when it is started
by gnome-session.

Thanks,

Johannes

Unknown platform unknown. Setting to default platform "Other".
Unknown milestone "unknown" in product "control-center".
   Setting to default milestone for this product, '---'
Setting to default status "UNCONFIRMED".
Setting qa contact to the default for this product.
   This bug either had no qa contact or an invalid one.
Comment 1 Vincent Noel 2004-08-09 19:43:45 UTC 
This is a dup of 3558. As explained in bug 118230, the right way to select the
soundcard is to modify esound to read its config in esd.conf.

Comment 2 Johannes Rohr 2004-08-09 20:15:48 UTC 
Well, sure gnome should not ignore esd config files. 

But even then, not having a GUI to set basic sound prefs, such as which sound
device is preferred is a severe limitation. 

Any mature desktop OS provides GUI access to such basic settings.

Actually in the new gnome volume control (2.9) there is an option to select the
audio device (file/change device). I don't know if it actually sets the device
as the "preferred" or just allows to change volume, but still.

Comment 6 Benjamin LeMasurier 2005-03-13 23:09:09 UTC 
I agree with Johannes, This should be available as not all users are aware of 
esd.conf.
Comment 7 Teppo Turtiainen 2005-07-16 19:12:57 UTC 
Marking this as a duplicate of a newer bug with a patch.
