Bug#606154: pommed: Pommed audio volume support conflicts with GNOME (and probably KDE)

Package: pommed
Version: 1.35~dfsg-1
Severity: normal


I noticed that nowadays both GNOME and KDE supports natively the XF86 multimedia keys for volume control on my macbook pro.
With pommed enable, the volume step up/down twice due to pommed and gnome/kde concurrents adjustements.

Is there any way to disable audio support in pommed?
I've mitigated the problem setting step = 1, but isn't so beautiful.

Thanks.
