Hi!
I had the problem with the mixer, that didn't show up, too. I always
managed to see them sooner or later by restarting things (the
application, alsa, my computer, etc). I also had the impression, that
they only show up after they have been used at least once. If you find
out, what exactly does the trick, please tell me.
What's more difficult is to remove them! The value of the controls is
stored in /etc/asound.state. In some (most?) distributions, this is done
every thime you shut down your computer. If you remove a control, its
state in /etc/asound.state will not be removed, so mixers will continue
to display the control. What you have to do is delete that file, and
then restart alsa without shutting it down correctly (so the control
states will not be saved again). I always pushed the reset button of my
computer, but maybe killing the process works just fine, too. Again, if
you found out something precise, please post it here or write an article
in the wiki.
I hope this helps... Greets, Ingo
