Re: [orca-list] Per-application volume control

[Christopher Chaltain <chaltain gmail com>]

I'm running the Unity desktop, but I can do this just by going into the 
Sound application and tabbing over to the Applications tab. Just tab 
down to the application where you want to control the volume and adjust 
the slider bar. Sometimes it isn't easy to tell which application is 
which, but a few seconds of trial and error usually sorts it out. I'm 
not sure how you'd find this Sound application in Gnome, but I'm sure 
it's there. In Unity, I just use alt+f10 and left arrow over to the 
volume indicator and arrow down to Sound. I'm sure you can do something 
similar in Gnome.
