Sound/music playing works fine, but volume control doesn't. What I
figured out (by watching alsamixer) is that the PA volume control is
manipulating the "PCM" mixer item, but the stereo analog line-out is
controlled by the "Front" mixer item. Some searching led me to the
assertion that PA tries for "Master" and then "PCM", but I couldn't find
anything that let me change that search in PA. Hopefully, I just failed
to find it? :-)
Alternatively, is there a way in ALSA to remap/rename those items? I did
look at the various ALSA docs/wiki, and didn't see anything obvious, and
am hoping that someone here knows how to do it, because my experience
with ALSA docs is that mostly they make my brain hurt.
