As you know PulseAudio needs consistent naming of volume controls, and this is not expressed clearly enough in the docs, so, what would you call a volume control that controls a front-line-out, but does not control a front-speaker or a front-headphone? PulseAudio assumes that if a control is named "Front", it does just that. So that's why I would prefer a rename to "Master Front". As for alsa-info output, I believe anything in hda-emu/codecs/alc861vd-* would do, as they have nsteps=0 on NIDs 0x0c - 0x0f. -- David Henningsson, Canonical Ltd. http://launchpad.net/~diwic _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
