I’m not sure if a topic about this exists already but I would like to raise some gripes I have about the sound system and ask if we can maybe get better/more in depth access to it.
Sometimes it seems that the SFOS bluetooth devices behave like original /dev/sound sound devices (for those who don’t remember before there were mixing daemons if your soundcard and it’s driver didn’t happen to support multiple inputs it was first come first serve whatever program grabbed the sound device for output had it and nothing else), if for instance I have both gPodder and Talefish or Media open then one program may output to the headset while the other outputs to the phone speakers until I use Utilities/Networking restart.
Another real annoyance is that seemingly random things can modify the volume of the signal being output, for instance getting a notification during a podcast may either permanently raise or lower the volume of the output while there is no way to fix this, when pressing the volume rocker maximum volume will be shown.
In general it would be nice if we had access to more in depth sound controls not just from the command line.
