Gnome Volume Applet hates mouse wheel ..

Hi, I noticed that the Gnome Volume Applets when is controlled with the mouse wheel sometimes acts very weird...
to explain me a little better if i rotate the mouse wheel above its icon to increase volume there are certain values wherein it gets excluded/disabled (dunno the official translation).
does it only happens to me?
thx for your replies

[edit] uhm I forgot to mention a thing, I've tried with gnome-applets from the extra repo (gnome 2.22) and with the latest (this evening versions) of gnome-applets (+ libweather + gnome-panel )( because there is a boring crash of clock_applet with latest version of gnome-applets... but this is another story ) from AUR.

Just wanted to say that I experience the exact same behavior, annoying!  Guess I have to wait till an update fixes it.

hhhmm... looks like it's deeper, I get it with the keyboard volume keys too... maybe it has to do with some lib in gnome-media?

Re: Gnome Volume Applet hates mouse wheel ..

It's some bug in alsa that freaks out on volume control with the gnome volume applet. This happened since the upgrade to kernel 2.6.25. There's an upstream bug running at kernel.org's bugzilla for this, but I guess it's something in alsa-lib.

Edit:
It's something that changed in event handling that causes the gnome volume control thing to go in a loop:
