If you see my reply to the original thing I started, I mentioned something about the key for the panel applet volume control named "channel". I don't know what values it takes or what to put in the box, so I'm not sure what to do or what to put. But yes, I need this functionality. Basically, VIA DXS is the name of my master controls, not the actual master control (and OSS PCM doesn't work either [ALSA PCM does]). -- "Microsoft is a lot better at making money than it is at making good operating systems." -- Linus Torvalds -- [email protected] mailing list
