I have one suggestion for this suggestion: The user should have some means of testing his setup. It can be quite difficult to be certain when a surround sound setup is actually plugged in correctly, and playing random sounds is not always helpful. I think one powerful possibility would be a test system with a spinning dot that emits a sound, possibly following the mouse pointer. This way, the user has control over where the sound is coming from as well as the ability to test how well in-between sounds (coming from multiple speakers at once) work.<br>
Another thing needing some audio feedback is the balance adjustment, which should really have a light humming noise as it is adjusted in order to find the perfect spot, but I suppose that would be the volume control's problem.<br>
<br>Anyway, you can ignore my unimaginative suggestions. Basically, need speaker tester :)<br><br>Bye,<br>-Dylan McCall<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Feb 4, 2008 at 8:45 PM, Piotr Zaryk <<a href="mailto:oponek@gmail.com">oponek@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>

It's an LTS and new, unstable features are not welcome. Yes, I think we should make it for the next release. Please edit the feature description on the ubuntu wiki if you have got some ideas.<br>

I like the look of this, but it's probably too late to make it to Hardy. Maybe Hardy+1? <br><br><div><div><span><span class="gmail_quote">On 2/4/08, <b class="gmail_sendername">Thomas Novin</b> <<a href="mailto:thnov@xyz.pp.se" target="_blank">thnov@xyz.pp.se</a>> wrote:</span></span></div>
