In other words, there should probably be a patch. But, it should probably be generic enough to allow for selecting any device found on the card. Using an external program for something like changing the a different part of the mixer is just clumsy, given the overhead of loading another program (if a shell script, then the shell, plus the execution of the interpreted program).
Thanks for the information, I will look into using the external method for now, but I'll try to come up with a more integrated way once I get a chance. (I guess I'll have to learn the ALSA/OSS API calls, and then this could be a biggie.) -- Joe --- "Michael T.
