It is my understanding that Rhythmbox and Totem are being considered as
default movie/music players for Gnome 2.8 (please correct me if I'm
mistaken). I'm looking forward to this as both are great apps (and
getting better all the time).
I have noticed an inconsistency between the two that might trip some
people up (it gets me every once and a while).
In Totem, there are two sliders in the main UI, a file/playback progress
slider, and a volume slider. At the end of the Totem volume slider there
is a "speaker" icon that mutes/unmutes the audio.
In Rhythmbox there is a file/playback progress slider, but the volume
slider only shows up when you click the Volume icon.
The trouble is, the Volume button in Rhythmbox is placed at the end of
the file/playback progress bar and looks a lot like the mute/unmute
button in Totem.
I've put together a quick graphic to illustrate this issue:

Anyone have any suggestions for a standard? I understand that the UI in
Rhythmbox (and perhaps Totem as well) is still being worked on. I
thought I would post here to Gnome-Usability first to see what others
thought.
Thanks,
Steven Garrity
