Hi, i heard on the #alsa irc channel, that some graphical mixer apps don't treat the alsa mixer [ctl] devices not right. For example on a cs46xx alsamixergui does not allow toggling capture on the "Capture" channel. This would be required and is no problem with alsamixergui. I wonder if other mixers have problems like this. This can be confusing like Hell to newbies.. -- http://www.soundclick.com/bands/9/florianschmidt.htm http://www.arted.biz/mista.tapas
