Comment 4 for bug 727047

Hello,

Xfce4-mixer / Xfce4-volumed pick the first card they can find when the system first starts, so if it's an invalid card there is not much to do except changing the default card in xfconf. I'd written a patch to unify the GUI for changing these settings but I'm not sure it was included in xfce4-mixer-preferences.

Regarding your crash, it indeed is a case I forgot to manage, despite having added protections against other causes of SIGFPE. I'm commiting a patch for it right now. Thanks for this report and for your useful debugging information.

FYI, Xfce4-volumed binds your volume keys so that they work and so that volume can be changed in real time by a dedicated daemon.
