Description of problem: Totem's volume control is greyed out and totem is not playing audio tracks when pulseaudio is not installed. Once I installed pulseaudio, totem's volume controls became available. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): totem-2.26.2-1.fc11.ppc How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Ensure pulseaudio is not installed 2. Setup GStreamer to use the "automatic" audio sink using gstreamer-preferences 3. Run totem Actual results: The volume control in the main application window is greyed out. Expected results: The volume control should work regardless of whether the application is using pulsesink or alsasink. Additional info: Audio devices are no longer assigned the proper permissions when I log in. pam_console used to do this, but ConsoleKit does not seem to. On the other hand, ConsoleKit seems to set the permissions for /dev/apm-bios, /dev/console, /dev/fb, etc.
Well, it's not going to work well at all, given the code in totem-use-pulsesink-volume.patch. We force-use pulsesink, to try and get it to handle the per-application volume. This is done using playbin2 in F12, and I won't be fixing this for F-11.
