Sure, but it is deeply burried there and for example finding used decoder
plugin inside such lot of messages like I usually get is very hard.

I would also like to see some information regarding current input status
(buffer fill, network lag etc.)

Yes, you're right, slider is there. But there are two problems with it: it
is not live (calling Volume up/down from menu does not affect it unless
dialog is reopened) and value is a bit strange. I assume that 256 means
unchanged volume, but in that case 1.0 or 100% would be better.

Also there is one more problem with gtk interface (similar to volume
update problem): playlist does not reflect redirects.

Have a nice day.
