Description Bill Nottingham 2011-03-21 18:01:45 UTC 
If pulseaudio dies, it gets respawned correctly. However, the shell loses the ability to frob PA unless the shell is restarted.

Comment 2 Dan Winship 2011-04-11 20:40:22 UTC 
bug in the shared control-center/shell volume control code
Comment 3 Bastien Nocera 2011-04-12 21:06:42 UTC 
Is it just the sound effects that don't show up, or does the whole sound menu not work? (status icon itself showing the right level? slider in the menu?)
Comment 4 Bill Nottingham 2011-04-12 22:07:43 UTC 
At some point post 2.91.91-2 this appears to have been fixed; the volume control functions properly. (Before, the slider wouldn't properly adjust the volume, and the hotkeys wouldn't show.)

(Not commenting on the sound effects, as I have them turned off.)

The sound effects for the volume change should be at the same volume level as the sound itself. They're played even if you have the sound effects disabled, which points to the same libcanberra bug as bug 647501.

And for what it's worth, the code to reconnect to pulseaudio didn't change since GNOME 2.32, so it was likely a bug in pulseaudio that got fixed :)

Closing as fixed.

This is caused by a fedora patch that is trying to workaround an earlier pulseaudio bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=696194
Comment 8 Dan Winship 2011-04-13 14:14:23 UTC 
an earlier libcanberra bug, that is
