Since the list is so responsive, I thought I'd ask all my questions now. Is there a terminal-mode volume control app for pulseaudio, comparable to aumix? if not, I'd like to highlight that as a minor but significant oversight, particularly if the system has users with no GUI login. 'pavucontrol' works from a local terminal but doesn't seem to work when logged in remotely- I get a gnome dialog [so it's not an X problem] saying 'connection refused' Thanks in advance, -Brandon
