I think we need a mixer for standard audio cards, the xfce4-mixer we
have
now is not as nice as alsamixer in a terminal from my POV. pavucontrol
is
the standard desktop mixer for pulse but it doesn't lend itself to card
level control in a recording situation, inputs in particular. It also
doesn't touch card levels at all in some cases. This would be a mixer
for
the mixer menu not for the volume icon. I happen to like qasmixer. It
would be nice to start it with a wrapper that points it at whatever the
device is jack is using or hm:0 if jackd has yet to be run. (this can be switched from within the app as well) Any other mixer app that is better
would be fine too.

Are you suggesting to replace the pulseaudio mixer with a non pulseaudio
mixer?

No, not at all. I mean providing an alsa based mixer in the audio
production->mixers menu for times when pa is not being used or when it is
used through jack. I find the xfce one less than optimal. Many of the
multitrack audio IFs already have their own mixer/control app. But many of
the USB ones don't. and some of the older PCI ones don't either. Internal
I am not sure I am worrying about, but them too.


Ah, sorry. I misread completely then.
I installed qasmixer to have a go with it.
