the only solution is to modify alsamixer. if it was possible to have only "simple" controls, the API would contain only "simple" controls. if you want alsamixer to "work", then it has to be modified. the typical widget for such things in a pixel-based GUI would be a "combo box" - you will have work to implement a similar item with ncurses but it can be done without too much trouble. but keep in mind that alsamixer will not be able to do everything that the control API allows unless it becomes very complex. its not clear that this is a good idea. most people who want character-based interfaces are reasonably happy with command-line style tools like aset and amixer; most people who want "graphics" want pixel-based graphics, not ncurses. its therefore questionable how much work its worth putting into a ncurses interface. --p _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
