Volumeicon and xfce4-volumed shows different volume

I probably found bug or something like this in more volume application. At the beginning this is the screen, whose show problem:

Yes, volumeicon shows correct volume percent, but xfce4-volumed shows too long bar. Unfortunately all of the apps to manage volume show uncorrect percent volume! Only volumeicon is correct.

And the question is: can i change somewhere xfce4-volumed behaviour?

I only add I had this same situation with this widget until I use awesomeWM: https://github.com/copycat-killer/lain/ … s/alsa.lua
but here i had a source code and fixed it myself(by change this line:

local f = assert(io.popen('amixer get ' .. channel))

to this:

local f = assert(io.popen('amixer -M get ' .. channel)) 

).

Or maybe i should report bug?

Re: Volumeicon and xfce4-volumed shows different volume

I could be wrong (I usually am), but I think the volume bar is showing a (base-e?) logarithmic scale whereas the others are showing a linear scale...

% man xfce4-volumed
No manual entry for xfce4-volumed

Dunno
EDIT: you could always grab the source code & modify it...
