Exactly, this is a test tool that checks whether the mixer control names and dB information live up to PulseAudio's expectations. That's the tool's purpose. Given some thought, perhaps the application warning should be removed. It might be that it should only require dB information for the controls it actually wants to test (i e Master, PCM etc)...what do you think? -- David Henningsson, Canonical Ltd. http://launchpad.net/~diwic _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
