In my 9.04 runs perfect. Nice application. Now I have direct control of my usb sound without editing the Volume Applet! Great post!

Only one problem: volume steps are too coarse and I didn’t find a way to refine it. Any idea?

1) Is this working with the pulseaudio LIRC module ?

2 ) If yes, would it show an on-screen notification when changing volume that way ?

This program seems a DREAM for living room media centers, but to be completely perfect it needs the 2 points above to be true.

its great, but wouldn’t it be better if it paused your music instead of muting it. maybe for the next version?

Nice program.

One minor problem: After installing both menu and startup applications items are incorrect (on my 9.04). They both try to start earcandy and not ear_candy.

Once changed they work correctly.

Thanks but doesn’t seem to work. I get this error, even though I had installed the repisotory.
