           Summary: Volume control not correctly initialized
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: alex.hunziker at rega-sense.ch


When watching HTML5 video, WebkitGTK seems to use the browser's volume channel
in PulseAudio to control the volume, which is good. However, when first showing
a website, the volume level is not correctly initialized.

When i open my sound preferences, I see that epiphany's channel there is set
to, say, 30%. The video viewer on e.g. openvideo.dailymotion.com however shows
the volume as maximised. The problem now arises when one uses the GUI on the
website to change the volume. At the first small change in the GUI (say from
100% to 98%, the real volume jumps from the 30% it was set to to 98%, which
potentially blasts one's ears out when wearing headphones.

Solution, when loading a website with sound or video, the volume controls there
should be initialised to the volume currently set in Pulse.
