fixed on cvs. please update the driver. this was due to the difference of mixer volume resolution. master volume on sb live has only 5-bit resolution, i.e. from 0 to 31, while oss requires to convert it to the range from 0 to 100. since xmms closes the mixer device instantly after reading/writing and alsa driver resets the value at each time converted from the native value, the value was mismatched. now the current value is kept persistently. thanks, Takashi ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
