And if a card is not in the database, there still has to be a default behavior. ;-) Perhaps an entry could be added to the .asoundrc or asound.state file that sets this. Although the main time this is of import is the first time a sound card is used, so there would have to be a default entry :-). After that it retains its previous state and is not as important. It looks like mute is a reasonable compromise, except for blind users. _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
