So pry open your new Echo Indigo, see who made the chip inside, and file a bug report with them to revise their silicon :-) What you are asking for isn't wrong, but it isn't a bug, it's a new feature request. Some other mixers might support control renaming and reordering, but alsamixer is too simple for that. Some of us think that's a good thing. Alsamixer shows everything that the driver reports, in control number order. That might not be the best user interface, but it is good for seeing exactly what possibilities exist. wes
