Hi,

Is it possible to control sound volume on each user account independently? So when user A logs in and changes the sound volume (with gnome alsa mixer) to max it won't affect user's B settings.
It is desktop debian (sid) machine, ALSA, Gnome.


Alsactl supports a "-f" option that will let you say what file you want to store (or retrieve) the volume settings. That file can be in the user's home directory. Read "man alsactl"
