Hi, I have written a small (proof of concept) program that is providing audio on all my channels on the audio. What I have noticed is that the "Speaker" channel gets muted every time. I don't know how or by who? When I change with alsamixer the mute then after less then 5 sec it get muted. How can I debug who is muting my 'Speaker' channel. Here is some output.
