[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#382441: xfce4-mixer unable to switch between two sound cards without restarting

[tony mancill]

Package: xfce4-mixer
Version: 4.3.90.2-4
Severity: wishlist

xfce4-mixer allows you to switch between two sound devices using
File->Option->Device, but to actually modify the sliders for the newly
selected device, it must be restarted.  It would be nice if it would
switch to the selected device immediately, or display all available
devices in tabs (like gnome-alsamixer).

Thanks for making this software available in Debian!
