That would be enough. For a start. I'm sure there are some more cases which should be considered, but the most important ones are probably the ones you described. > All I want beyond that is for there to be a GUI mixer that provides full > channel control available in the default install for all editions of > Fedora, *alongside* Pulse-level mixers like the new-skool g-v-c.

Call it "Advanced Audio Mixer", have it offer the Alsa channels and offer to show only a subset, make it play nicely with the new-skool mixer and world domination will be ours. Nope, that came out wrong. Let me try again: And all our users rejoiced. There, much better. The easy cases can work with the new-skool mixer and if you need something specific, use the Advanced mixer. Hopefully people needing the Advanced mixer will share their use cases and these can then be considered for inclusion into the new-skool mixer. > And most people, infamously, don't read the release notes.
