The patch looks simple, but I'm not entirely sure the concept is sound. Please review. The problem I'm trying to solve is that analog-output-mono is (in my view incorrectly) seen as a subset of analog-output-lfe-on-mono. Relevant debug output: D: [lt-pulseaudio] alsa-mixer.c: Path analog-output-mono (Analoge mono-uitvoer), direction=1, priority=50, probed=yes, supported=yes, has_mute=yes, has_volume=yes, has_dB=yes, min_volume=0, max_volume=31, min_dB=-81, max_dB=12 D: [lt-pulseaudio] alsa-mixer.c: Element Master, direction=1, switch=2, volume=2, volume_limit=-1, enumeration=0, required=0, required_any=0, required_absent=0, mask=0x6, n_channels=2, override_map=no D: [lt-pulseaudio] alsa-mixer.c: Element Master Mono, direction=1, switch=1, volume=1, volume_limit=-1, enumeration=0, required=4, required_any=0, required_absent=0, mask=0x7ffffffffffff, n_channels=1, override_map=yes D: [lt-pulseaudio] alsa-mixer.c: Element PCM, direction=1, switch=1, volume=1, volume_limit=-1, enumeration=0, required=0, required_any=0, required_absent=0, mask=0x3600000000f66, n_channels=2, override_map=yes D: [lt-pulseaudio] alsa-mixer.c: Path analog-output-lfe-on-mono (Analoge output (LFE)), direction=1, priority=40, probed=yes, supported=yes, has_mute=yes, has_volume=yes, has_dB=yes, min_volume=0, max_volume=31, min_dB=-81, max_dB=12 D: [lt-pulseaudio] alsa-mixer.c: Element Master, direction=1, switch=1, volume=1, volume_limit=-1, enumeration=0, required=0, required_any=0, required_absent=0, mask=0x3600000000f66, n_channels=2, override_map=yes D: [lt-pulseaudio] alsa-mixer.c: Element Master Mono, direction=1, switch=1, volume=1, volume_limit=-1, enumeration=0, required=4, required_any=0, required_absent=0, mask=0x80, n_channels=1, override_map=yes D: [lt-pulseaudio] alsa-mixer.c: Element PCM, direction=1, switch=1, volume=1, volume_limit=-1, enumeration=0, required=0, required_any=0, required_absent=0, mask=0x3600000000f66, n_channels=2, override_map=yes D: [lt-pulseaudio] alsa-mixer.c: Removing path 'analog-output-mono' as it is a subset of 'analog-output-lfe-on-mono'. Is it correct to think that analog-output-mono should not be a subset of analog-output-lfe-on-mono? If it is, the patch fixes this. Maarten
