Show libnotify message on volume change.
i added desktop notifications of the volume change via libnotify as i was missing that feedback. if you're interested.
update: didn't test it that much. after running for a few minutes notifications don't appear. first time using libnotify so i'm probably missing something.
That's very cool. I'll try it out tomorrow.
I'd be happy to hear any other suggestions that you might have. Thanks.
I tried it and it works good for me. I would probably make it an option though (or probably a command line switch), so I have to figure that out.
It would be cool if we could somehow invoke the system's built in volume notification. I was looking for a way to do it but couldn't find any.
i think i figured out a workaround for the notifications stopping appearing. it's been running for an hour for me with no problems.
i looked for a way to trigger the default volume notification with no luck as well. on mint it seems that there's a separate system for listening for XF86AudioXXX messages and popping something up. i think recent gnome is just using libnotify.
if you want some help with a build setup for only building libnotify stuff if it's available i can include an autoconf setup.
I didn't have any problems with notifications stopping appearing. Maybe there's a difference in libnotify versions between Mint and Ubuntu.
i'm using 0.7.6 on mint. maybe it's just a bug. does seem strange to need to restart it.
