Comment 4 for bug 659546

Thank you, with this workaround you get the old behaviour. But if the new behaviour is intended by design, than there is still the bug with the main channel affecting the volumes of other channels.
I could live with setting up the speaker volumes once and than just use the master channel for volume adjustments. Thats what I have done before. But every time you use the master, it fucks up your speaker settings ... :/
