Yes, that's another way. The /proc method doesn't require remembering
or looking up aplay syntax, or invoking a second utility. So, that's
the method I pointed out. I could have listed both for the sake of
completeness though.

Hi,

- other mixers for alsa? I do not know...

So a good gtk gui for alsamixer (just a gui, whitout code changes) would
be very useful ("good gtk gui" I mean: gtk, with desktop layout
integration, user configurable).


Yes, I think there is an ongoing lack of a good alsamixer in gtk. In previous 
releases of devuan, we had Volti:

https://github.com/gen2brain/volti

but it's missing in Chimaera because pygtk-2 seems to be deprecated. The same 
has happened for wicd-gtk.
Either way, I don't really miss volti too much because of its dependency on 
dbus [*]

Cheers,

Aitor.

No, not really. There is a list of cards in /proc/asound/cards.

Cool, that's all that's needed.


Amixer is only a piece of alsa-utils. The following utility will do the job:

$ aplay --list-devices

Cheers,

Aitor.
