The day I am going to buy a M-Audio card (which is fairly soon I hope), I will have to rewrite envy24control in a NON-GUI fashion. All my boxes are headless, because I can not use graphical UIs at all. I know this is no immediate help for you, but it might show to others that it is indeed a good idea to go with the KISS idea: I.e., if you write something as essential as a mixer control, PLEASE dont wrap it up in a GUI by default, but make the underlying functionality available in some generic way, such like as a library, or as a command-line tool. In any case, when I get my M-Audio and finish raping envy24control, I'll let the list know. Its all just C code after all... -- CYa, Mario
