Comment 7 for bug 608876

I've been playing around some more with various versions of earcandy to see if I could get something to work. (Is there a git repository for earcandy??) Apparently, version 0.9 of the software seems to (somewhat) fix the problem for me. If I use the setup script to install earcandy, the program launches and sits in the tray, but has no effect on my sound. However, if I launch earcandy directly from the ./build/scripts-2.6 folder, then I get some functionality. Specifically, the fading effect works between Rythmbox and VLC, but not the browser ALSA plug-in. Additionally, the preferences dialog fails to open, which means I have no further way of troubleshooting/tweaking settings.

Let me know if my posts are uninformative and a waste of your time.
