I have this setup:
Kodi 17 running on Gentoo Gnome3 with systemd and pulseaudio
This is my problem
If i press my mediakeys for volume gnome is set the global volume
if i press the kodi keys for volume the kodi sink is set
if i use an androidapp to control the kodi-volume the kodi sink is set
Therefore i have two different audio volumes to control with is very very annoying
Now could i deactivate the gnome volume-control but i would like to control the same volumesink inside and outside of kodi so im looking for any solution to get kodi setting the global volume not the intern volume.
I would patch the source code too but i have no idea were to start.
