well, hp/spkr are already like this. there are a few ways to mute spkr. not all devices support all methods, but, the obvious one: mixerctl outputs.spkr_mute=on change the direction of spkr to 'none': mixerctl outputs.spkr_dir=none set it's source to something that it muted: mixerctl outputs.mix3_source= # mutes all inputs to mix3 mixerctl outputs.spkr_source=mix3 there may even be others. if your hp jack is capable of sending unsolicited responses then one of the first two is done more or less automaticly when hp is plugged. also some devices do automatic muting completely in hardware. -- [email protected] SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
