independent application volume control?
by tendays on Tuesday 06/Feb/2007, @08:31

Hello, that was nice to read.

I have one question: will there be a way to control the volume for a single (kde) application at a time? Say for instance that I am watching a dvd whose audio is quite low, so I want to push up the volume for the dvd player, but don't want to jump out of my seat or get deaf if I get a mail or some other event occurs, whose notification sound is comparatively louder..

Ok never mind, I "RTFWS" and it looks like the answer is yes.

Use PulseAudio!
by Tuxie on Wednesday 14/Mar/2007, @14:15

Use http://pulseaudio.org and you'll be able to do this already!
My Gentoo system is already configured to use PulseAudio for all audio output and it works great! No special application support needed. It works as an Alsa plugin, a fake esd and other things so all programs that support either alsa or esd will play through PulseAudio. Apps that only support OSS can be used with the padsp utility (like esddsp or aoss). Monty of Xiph (author of ogg/vorbis) has also written a oss2pulse daemon which create a fake /dev/dsp and route it to PA.
Fedora Core 7 will be 100% PulseAudio. It's the compiz/beryl/xgl of desktop audio.

BTW, it does not try to compete with Phonon, GStreamer, Xine, Jack etc. It complements it.
