Polypaudio Volume Control (pavucontrol) is a simple GTK based volume control tool ("mixer") for the PulseAudio sound server.

In contrast to classic mixer tools this one allows you to control both the volume of hardware devices and of each playback stream seperately.

Requirements:
Currently, pavucontrol is tested on Linux only.
pavucontrol was developed and tested on Debian GNU/Linux "testing" from April 2006, it should work on most other Linux distributions (and maybe Unix versions) since it uses GNU autoconf for source code configuration.
pavucontrol requires gtkmm and glademmm installed.
Obviously pavucontrol requires an installation of polypaudio (version 0.8).

Installation:

As this package is made with the GNU autotools you should run ./configure inside the distribution directory for configuring the source tree. After that you should run make for compilation and make install (as root) for installation of pavucontrol.

What's New in This Release:
add the ability to move a stream to another device while it is playing; limit the list of sinks/sources shown by their type; other cleanups
