Description of problem:
When you play an audio CD in Gnome Desktop there is no audio (in many cases) 
but, if you run kmix and set record settings on volume controls for CdRom 
devices then run gnomecd it plays fine.  Once you open gnome-volume-control, 
however, the audio is promptly cut off.  Also the xml interface does not allow 
you to select multiple record sources on the mixer due to the fact that the 
checkmark de-selects from one box when you click on another.  This error has 
occured using OSS drivers provided by the RedHat installation.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Run kmix in terminal to set record source preferences.
2.  Open gnomecd in Gnome desktop environment.
3.  Open gnome-volume-control and audio to CD is promptly cut off.
    

Actual Results:  Mixer settings are either overwritten or there is a problem 
with the program's ability to acurately write and interpret these settings.

Expected Results:  The Mixer should open and retain it's settings and not have 
audio cut off.

Additional info:

This seems to be a multi-distribution problem.  I have tried updating gnome-
media from gnome.org to no avail.  I am interested in a fix.
