MusE 0.6.1 depends on libjack0 (>=0.71.2) and libqt3c102-mt (>=3:3.1.1) The latter seems intertwined with the whole kde structure. I have it installed alongside kde3, but sadly not working yet. MusE 0.6.0 runs under woody & therefore kde2 (sort of) but has b0rked some of my kde components, probably for similar reasons. Actually, I should qualify that, MusE works fine, records and everything AFAIX, but I've somewhat broken kde in the process. It depends (sic) on how much functionality you require out of kde apps. Of course SuSE may work differently from Debian. I really am no expert. I used to have a working version of Timidity, but I seem to have probs with recent versions. I like it a lot. The working version (I don't remember which version, sorry) just worked. Incidentally I think all these alsamixer functions you speak of are a function of your soundcard rather than the mixer utility. Again, see disclaimer above. Anyone who wishes to point out the error of my ways would be heartily welcomed. cheers tim hall
