I'm currently using the last karmic release.
When I heard about earcandy I thought it was a nice idea to control application volume in a per-application basis (so, using pulseaudio, the global volume woul still be changeable)
However, when I turn on earcandy and open a video player the output volume raises to 100%, along with the master volume output, when I try to lower the master volume it automatically raise it up again and the only way to turn it lower is to set the application maximum volume in the earcandy preferences.
I've not tested earcandy before, so I'm not sure if this is the intended behavior or not, but I thought about opening a bug because I think it's not very nice and would be much better if the master volume control was controllable by the user.

Also, I'm not sure if this is something with Ubuntu karmic. It seems that even with earcandy disabled, when I change the main volume control it also changes the per-application volume, and when I raise the volume in one application the master volume gets raised.
I've not tested earcandy before, so I'm not sure if this is the intended behavior or not, but I thought about opening a bug because I think it's not a very nice thing and would be much better if the master volume control was manageable by the user independently of the application volume.
