[Bug 43229] Mixer applet should change icon according to selected device

[Marcin Antczak]

Public bug reported:

Affects: gnome-applets (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
Binary package hint: gnome-applets

Gnome-panel allows to add multiple mixer applets.

This is pretty nice feature (although it could work better - but this is
not a purpose of this bug report) and with this feature I can put for
example two applets on my panel.

One for my speakers and another for microphone - for example when I
don't use microphone I want to have an ability to mute microphone in one
click - but while I use for VOIP then I unmute in single click.

This is cool - but I think that it could be nice to add an ability to
set different icons with speaker if selected channel is related with
speakers and microphone icon when selected device is microphone (or
other input).

Of course this is pretty hard to implement but I think that it's easy to
set two types of icons - one for input and another for output.

Then maybe in applet preferences user could select other icons if needed
(with speaker, headset, microphone, line input... etc)

I think that this applet GUI should be redesigned but this feature could
be nice on beginning.
