 Replying to [comment:7 datallah]:
 > Just because it is built in to Windows doesn't mean that this isn't a
 bug in it. :)
 Let me put it this way:
 The Audio Mixer uses the icon that shows up on the top-left of the
 windows, at it's largest(I think) form. Most icons retain a small enough
 size, including the default Pidgin logged on/off/away/etc icons, that it
 easily migrates to things like Audio Mixer. In the case of it changing to
 the Avatar of the person you are talking to, the picture is automatically
 re-sized for the top-left window icon, but the actual size does not
 change. This makes it a problem for other things such as the Audio mixer.
 If you were to take the avatar and have it re-sized to the correct icon
 size, then this would eliminate the issue.

 This means, to me at least, that it is the fault of Pidgin, not windows.
 Both sides can fix the problem, but what I meant by saying "Well,
 considering Audio Mixer is built in to Microsoft Windows..." is that
 Microsoft is extremely unlikely to fix this sort of issue(considering who
 they are), when it only effects a few if any other programs. Pidgin on the
 other hand, is obviously more likely to read my claim and at least take
 note that the problem exists.
