Bug#323915: /usr/bin/gnome-volume-control: Volume change wastes balance settings

[Johan Walles]

Package: gnome-media
Version: 2.8.0-0.4
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/gnome-volume-control


1. Right click the gnome-volume-control applet.
2. Select "Öppna volymkontroll" (en: "Open Volume Control").
3. Change the right-channel master volume to zero.

Now, all sound is coming out your left speaker.

4. Close the volume control window.
5. Left-click the gnome-volume-control applet.
6. Change the volume a little bit up or down.

Expected behaviour:
Volume should change a little.  Balance should still be fully to the 
left.

Current behaviour:
Volume changes a little (OK).  Balance is reset to the middle.
