David: I tried this.

They don't update dinamically.

But trying different combinations, I found the following in "Volume Control" (opened from padevchooser):

- I'm listening music ok on external speakers.

- I plug my headset in

- Pulseaudio automatically switches the music to the headset (this is ok!)

- At this point:
      - Can not hear anything on the headset
      - alsamixer shows the volume in 0
      - VolumeControl, in the "Output Devices" tab, it shows the analog output for the headset, and a horizontal bar "dances with the music" (like a "vu meter")
      - VolumeControl, in the "Playback" tab, shows me the output for the media player I'm using, but the horizontal bar here is not dancing, it's static (not in zero).

- In alsamixer, I turn the volume up.

- This produces the following effects:
      - Can hear music on the headset (yay!)
      - VolumeControl, in the "Output Devices" tab, shows the dancing bar like before
      - VolumeControl, in the "Playback" tab, now shows the dancing bar correctly, not static anymore.

So, I just wanted to remark here the differences between internal VolumeControl behaviour when I modify the volume of the headset in alsamixer.

Thanks!
