Dave,

I must be missing something. I do not understand why it is so difficult to
add something like variable attenuator (slider) to the raw audio generated 
by fldigi. The fldigi audio output just seems too hot.  

I do not see the need for mixer controls . These things are best left to OS to 
handle.
