Description Jean-François Fortin Tam 2009-12-06 03:56:40 UTC 
g-v-c allows the user to go over the permitted maximum volume of a sound device, which is a good thing. The only problem is that it's not discoverable. The user may unsuspectingly put it to 200% and induce clipping. Attached is a screenshot of the problem and a suggestion: simply add a label for 100% (and hopefully for the maximum value too), and have the slider "snap" to it (just like it snaps to the "base" value)

We now show both the unamplified and 100% volumes (when the 100% volume is higher than the unamplified volume).

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find.
