Bug Description

Karmic Alpha 5 LiveCD

While researching another bug, I was switching among multiple output audio devices. I note the decision is to let each audio device have its own volume level. Clever.

However, this means that the notification for each device is distinct, so there should be a way to delineate between the two. Currently, there is not. I think including a small bit of text to indicate the device whose (volume level) information is currently displayed would be helpful.

I surmise that this is a very simple change, just basically an extra print call or string concatenation.

By 'notification' I mean the gray box that is temporarily placed in the upper-right corner of the screen for a few seconds when a notable action happens (such as a new volume level).

For some reason I had Alpha 6 in my head. Clearly not correct as it's not even released yet. I was working with Alpha 5, as the 'uname -a' probably highlights.
