GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 656580
"Input level" progess bar doesn't do anything

I guess it should display the level of the sound currently recorded?
Yes, as it happens in the sidebar in empathy-av. We should do this using libpulse.
Anything blocking it or that's just a matter of implementing it?
There's nothing blocking it.
Jon pointed in bug #661190 that the sound system settings has a widget to display volume that could be used instead.
Actually we don't need this any more as the UI to control volume has been removed: commit ad8497cb0edb8e6801e277cecf43b0c2129e6c41 Author: Sjoerd Simons <sjoerd.simons@collabora.co.uk> Date: Thu Nov 17 20:14:01 2011 +0000 Remove call input volume configuration As we rely on pulseaudio there is no point in saving our own volume configuration, pulseaudio does that for us. If we do save it, then we have no idea which volume to pick after connecting to pulse (the one we save, the one pulse saved, a random value?). On top of that our configuration implementation is plain ugly, the level meter didn't work etc. This is all much better configured using the gnome-control-center sound panel, which is pretty nice for inputs and saves its volume on pulse for us to re-use :)
