What's this "better way" you speak of? And what's wrong with doing it in the DSP? I wish you had said something sooner. Users have been complaining vociferously about this as long as I have been involved with ALSA (not as long as some people, but long enough ;-). Personally I never thought this was a big deal. I don't use the Audigy master volume anyway, I just adjust the volume inside the app. It seems broken to me for a program like mplayer to grab the master volume control anyway. Shouldn't it just attenuate the PCM samples it's generating?
