Description drago01 2009-01-16 15:22:57 UTC 
Currently pavucontrol is able to move the audio streams between devices, while the new interface provided by gnome-media cannot.

It would be nice to have this feature added so the user does not have to use a different volume control app for for this.

The only problem being that a right-click menu to select this is really bad UI.

Better ideas welcome.
Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2009-02-18 00:09:38 UTC 
Lennart mentioned that we could move the recording apps to the input tab, and the playback apps to the output tab, allowing us to select the sink/source for each app through dnd, and making it easy to see where each stream is being played.

This would require some considerable UI rework.

I also mentioned that apps might want to be able to select this (eg. Rhythmbox would tell PA to play its own stream on the Airport Express sink). This would require more infrastructure and application work, and isn't really suitable for all the apps either.
Comment 3 Lennart Poettering 2009-05-08 18:49:39 UTC 
Showing apps and devices on the same panel also has the benefit that it would be possible to visualize the logic of flat volumes a bit better. Like Windows does it for example.

+1. this would be a real great feature to have especially now that bluetooth stereo headsets work properly.

Mass move to gnome-control-center.
Comment 7 Bastien Nocera 2012-08-24 17:20:45 UTC 
Mass reassign, sorry for the noise.
Comment 8 André Klapper 2021-06-09 16:01:51 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 enhancement request ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
