First, sorry for the delay. I've only just now got to trying this thing. Aaaand... how do you start this? I was under the impression that you only type `gvolwheel' and that the thing automatically starts and sprouts rainbows and what not. But I got an enigmatic message that "Error opening mixer device". After delving into the source, I determined that I need to pass it an argument and experimented with '-d hw:1' (as per the --help text) and what not, but to no awail. Sometimes ALSA reports something like $gvolwheel -d /dev/mixer ALSA lib control.c:882:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL /dev/mixer Error opening mixer device othertimes I just get $gvolwheel -d 'hw:1' Error opening mixer device I could dig deeper, but is there a known-to-work way to start it? Oh, and BTW, the BLFS page on gvolwheel should be updated to also include Glib as a dependency (although Glib is also a dependency of GTK+-3). I tried all this with alsa-utils-1.0.24.2, GTK+-3.2.1, Intltool-0.50.0 and XML::Parser-2.41. -- You don't need an AI for a robot uprising. Humans will do just fine.
