Banshee 1.5.5 is out: http://banshee-project.org/2010/03/10/banshee-1-5-5-aka-1-6-rc-1-is-out/ 'tis time for a version bump, methinks. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
There's a bug in 1.5.5 that resets the volume to max on stream changes. There are patches in upstream git but they're not perfect (at least on my setup). I'm working on a complete fix, but barring that, I'll try to push out with what they have so far Real Soon Now™.
Bumped in CVS.
