Created attachment 2374 Mockup (with french locale, sorry :p)

Hello,

I'm filling this bug report after a discussion with Jannis at UDS. I think the "current" mixer track should be stored in xfce4-mixer, and retrieved by the mixer plugin via xfconf, because :

• It is an useful step for a future CLI for xfce4-mixer (giving the possibility to manage the volume of this current track without naming it when using the CLI), and it allows linking the XF86Audio buttons to the mixer's (future) CLI amongst default keyboard shortcuts (and without having to use aumix/amixer).

This report is mostly for recording the progress made on this matter.

Cordially, SD.
