A message a while ago mentioned the difficulty in the "proper" names
for things. While the terms "left" and "right" have been around for a
while, other terms are new to the show. For instance "master" and
"headphone" mean weird things. In an effort to make things "easier", I
would like to suggest:
"Front" and "Back". While "Front" is very obvious, "Back" may not be
intuitive (others preferring "Rear"). The problem is that many people
abbreviate channels by their initials, and "R" is already taken
("Right"), so "Back" is a better choice. Besides, when 4-channel
stereo was being discussed/standardized back in the 70's, they made
that choice.
I also support the decision to make "Master" refer to a common control
for many levels (more than 2 channels).
I would also like to have a "note" explain somewhere that "LFE" is a
synonym for "Sub_woofer"
Just a few comments. Alsa is the BEST!
