I meant the category of
the bug. But I just looked and it's already set to enhancement. I must
have overlooked that somehow.
Ah, gotcha. Good deal. :)
It would be interesting to know if a patch for
that would be accepted if it was written (and quality is fine). Am I the only
one who dislikes the current volume slider?
Doubtful; I've seen the question come up from time to time for Banshee, Rhythmbox, and Totem. However, I've not seen any conclusive arguments for it one way or the other; a lot of it revolves around taste and opinion.
Ultimately, I'd think this would be the kind of thing that would benefit from some HCI studies and should really start on a fundamental GNOME level before being changed by individual applications; consistency with the entire desktop has been the biggest argument against such changes thus far.
Also, FWIW, I never use my Banshee/Rhythmbox/Totem sliders, ultimately using the GNOME system volume control, via the panel applet and/or the keyboard volume controls on my computer.
