Para que se den una idea de como funciona, por ejemplo si están escuchando música y abren un video de YouTube, la música se silenciará automáticamente hasta la terminación del video o por ejemplo si estamos viendo una película y entra una llamada de Skype, el sonido de la película se apagará para poder atender y al cortar la comunicación regresará.
EarCandy viene con una serie de reglas preconfiguradas que si no son de tu agrado las puedes editar:
Sus caracteristicas son:
USB Headsets support: if you plug an usb headset, the audio streams will be automatically transferred to the headsets.
Updates special volume keys to point to the usb headset when it’s plugged in: no more need to mess with the volume applet, the special multimedia keys of your keyboard will work on your audio boxes or usb headset depending if the latter is plugged in or not.
Volume slider: the tray icon now behaves much more like the standard Gnome volume applet, and displays a volume slider when clicked.
Deactivable tray icon: …but if you don’t like to have yet another tray icon, you can hide it easily.
Lock volumes: earcandy automatically determines which audio stream you want to listen. But if you happen to be willing to freeze the current situation, you can do so with the pause button that appears above the slider when you click the tray icon.
Refactored interface: nicer and more sober.
Adjustable volume fade speed: I like it fast btw. With fries.
