It would be helpful if xfce4-mixer displayed a tooltip with a message similar to "Speaker: 56%", while hovering the level-changing sliders or the associated label, or when changing the levels either using a mouse-click or the scroll-wheel. Currently it doesn't and there's no easy way to find the exact current or new sound level; the panel plug-in displays a tooltip only for the mixer track.
Created attachment 4057 Adds tooltips for fader, mute, lock, & record buttons. This patch adds several functions to display the appropriate tooltip. I broke them out into separate functions because they all handle strings that need to be translated. I couldn't find anything about getting the names of the channels from gstreamer (i.e. channel 1 is left, 2 is right, 3 is back) or anything like that so I set it to display the number. Let me know if theres any way to improve this code and I will.
Created attachment 4060 Adds tooltips for fader, mute, lock, & record buttons. I'm an idiot, per the docs that I didn't carefully read: "A channel is said to be a mono-stream inside this track. A stereo track thus contains two channels." Fixed the patch to print the left/right channel when it's a stereo track.
Created attachment 4254 Add tooltips for the fader, mute, lock, & record buttons. Cleaned up the code formatting some to be more consistent. Also fixed a bug where it said it was always recording.
Created attachment 5265 Add tooltips for the fader, mute, lock, & record buttons Same patch, updated to apply against git master (commit cfcbabb44104af0568b32ae7a88af31bf16dab25)
