The emu10k1 needs an hwdep mixer app, like on Windows. It's just too complex for a generic mixer API. We get a lot of complaints about the mixer but not a lot of suggestions to improve it. A good way to start it to open an ALSA bug report like "emu10k1: mixer sux0r" and suggest how we could improve it. Lee
