Looking at my latest logs, the only deps I see are libasound (alsa), "PACKAGE" (gtk+-2.0), and one of the Xorg libs. It only provides a volume control, which is all that I need. For the first time (e.g. on a new machine) I use alsamixer to sort out source and muting. For one machine (an AMD APU from a couple of years ago, which is now apparently dead) I had to take other steps to get the analogue output used, it insisted on prioritising the HDMI output (I think I had to set up a conf file to force alsa to use the analogue output). I think that my latest test machine, although also an AMD APU, did not have that problem. If I hadn't had that problem, I would probably have kept using gvolwheel. For a fuller-featured non-pulse mixer, there is apparently something called gamix. No idea whether it is any good, but google found a source rpm and it is (or was) apparently in debian. Conversely, I never managed to get xfce4-mixer to work. I don't have it on any recent builds and I don't remember what the problem was. ĸen -- This one goes up to eleven! -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
