As I had used the new device before restarting ALSA, I'm not sure if it could be done without previously playing sound. My final .asoundrc is: pcm.xmms { type softvol slave.pcm "default" control { name "XMMS" card 0 } } I suggest that you comment on the howto that the "control" is responsible for creating the volume control and explain what that "card 0" is all about. -- Bruno Schneider http://www.dcc.ufla.br/~bruno/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
