#1677 reopened defect
Speaker device not updated on external state changes

Description
If the mixer state is set externally, e.g. via olpc-kbdshim, the Speaker device in the frame isn't updated.
I don't know the ALSA API at all, but given that alsamixer responds immediately to external changes I guess there's a way to get notified.

I think this is not important enough to be tracked. Feel free to send patches of course.

I think this is important enough to be tracked. This is an interoperability problem between Sugar and other system components on Linux, not just on OLPC builds. The point of interface is the ALSA mixer API. Sugar is not using the API in the manner that all other programs do.
The user impact is significant; Sugar does not show valid data in the frame. This degrades trust in the frame as a UI element.
