In alsamixer-qt4 I've just stumbled over enum elements for which both snd_mixer_selem_is_enum_playback and snd_mixer_selem_is_enum_capture return 0/false (2.6.32 kernel emu10k1 chip). May I drop the question in if this state can be considered valid and besides *playback* and *capture* elements there's a third group of *neutral* elements? (On the other hand switches and volumes are always directed.) Right now I handle it by dumping a warning message to stdout and puting it into the playback direction element list.
