Volume resets when changing tracks

[beatgammit]

If I change my system volume while a track is running, the volume will reset to the previous value once the track changes.

I also noticed that changing the volume in the app changes my system volume (it sets volume to max on startup, but it's probably a related problem). I don't think rdio should be changing my system volume at all.

I'm on Arch Linux running GNOME 3.12 using the rdio-git AUR package if that matters.

Hmmm not sure why that is happening. It does "sync" with the rdio player's volume but I do not know why those issues are happening.

Why does it sync with the player's volume? Shouldn't the system volume and rdio volume be separate?

Not exactly sure what it syncs with, it's been a while ,but it looks like it syncs with the app specific volume: https://github.com/sgringwe/rdio/blob/76a756b2ba13484eff69b92c87759cae9801423c/rdio/MPRIS.vala#L392

It set the volume to 100% percent on every track change for me. Makes the app unusable, regrettably, since it means waking up all my neighbours on every track change. :(

Note that the system volume is changed, and not just rdio's slider.

Is there a way to fix it? BTW, I am also on Arch Linux. I am not terribly concerned if the app changes the system volume, I just don't want it to reset the volume to max for every track change.
