Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-mplayer

I can't change the volume in gnome-mplayer, it automatically reset to the general volume. I tried in gnome-mplayer and also in pulseaudio pref UI but with the same result. Using Mplayer works as expected, so I think it's a problem in gnome-mplayer.

I don' t understand what you mean here. Did you select pulse audio as your Sortie Audio in Edition -> Preferences -> Lecteur?

No, it's when I go to System menu (on the panel) and Preferences =>
Sound => Application. It's not in Gnome-mplayer itself. I have the same
result using this or directly the volume in Gnome-mplayer.

Let me repeat it differently. Start gnome-mplayer, go to Edition -> Preferences -> Lecteur and select pulse audio in Sortie Audio.

Same problem if I set pulse as the audio output.

Any change if you set gnome-mplayer to use software volume (its in the mplayer tab, or launch gnome-mplayer with the --softvol option) or you specify to not use flat volume (setting the gconf key /apps/gnome-mplayer/preferences/use_pulse_flat_volume to false)?

No problem, glad I could help.
I talked about this issue with upstream, there is a recent commit which is supposed to fix it (http://code.google.com/p/gnome-mplayer/source/detail?r=1582).
Unfortunately it is too late to upload this to karmic, but if it is necessary I will propose an sru.
