Request for patched pulseaudio for -current/15.0 and (perhaps) backport to 14.2
by rshepard from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5DWVW)
This concerns pavucontrol which is in the core distribution, but I'm not on any developer mail list.
For the past couple of weeks I've struggled to get a pair of USB-connected headsets working. The problem is that the source output is controlled on pavucontrol's 'Playback' tab, and the dropdown/combobox widget there does not have the usual down-arrow indicator that there's more than a single choice. Every other combobox on the other tabs have the usual indicator. So, I didn't click on that widget in the 'Playback' tab. Sigh.
Anyway, there's a fix coming:
"Interestingly, there's a commit in the pavucontrol master that changes
the button->radiolist behavior to a standard drop-down selector:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulse...c8154208d9a505
It just hasn't made its way into a release yet."
Regards,
Rich
