Hi!
Found another strange behavior with pipewire:
During my latest issue playing some audio to a certain channel, I took
pw-play to do the job.
In parallel, audacity should play some background music for the audience.
The two apps cause an interaction I just didn't expect:
Altering the output volume of audacity also altered the output of pw-play!
My steps (to reproduce):
* Configure a command-cue in "linux-show-player"(LiSP) with pw-play as
the main actor (as shown in my first "pipewire, wtf?" post.
* Open "audacious", play a track, set the volume to, let's say, 30%.
* Open "pavucontrol", go to "playback" rider and watch!
If I run the command-cue in LiSP, pavucontrol shows, that the output of
pw-play is also reduced to 30%. Raise audacious' volume to 50% and hit
the command-cue, again: pw-play's output is also raised to 50%.
I don't think this should happen…
Is this a bug or a feature?
Instead of using the command-cue in LiSP, you can also use that command,
directly.
I'm glad, the audio-cues of LiSP are not affected… I also haven't seen
more applications that interact in that way, but audacious and pw-play
will not be the only two where this behavior is shown…
Greets!
