Title:
  No way to play Line-in over speakers with pavucontrol alone

Status in pavucontrol package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: pavucontrol

  Pavucontrol version: 0.9.8
  Ubuntu version: 9.10

  Hi,

  I have two computers on my desk, computer A and B.
  But i have only one set of speakers connected to computer A.
  To play audio from computer B on the same speakers i connected it to the line-in of computer A.

  In Ubuntu 9.04 it was really easy to get this to work, just opened the channel at volume control.
  On 9.10 its more difficult then it looks.

  When i open the input channel at pavucontrol and turned mute off i still hear no audio from computer B.
  What i found out (after a while of google'ing) is that you actually need to install gnome-alsamixer and open the channel there too before it works.

  Could this get more user friendly so gnome-alsamixer isnt needed anymore ?
  Is this a bug in povamonitor, or the way the fresh install of Ubuntu is set up ?
