I can see my eternal damnation now, an eternity sorting through
uncommented C programs in hell's ironic punishment department.  :op

No probs. I'd be more than willing to write some docs for the mixer
api, if I could work out how to use it. So can you answer some
questions about it? I'm confused as to why its necessary to use
elements, simple elements and a high level control interface to set
sound levels on the mixer. I have done some mixer programming with
OSS, but this is very different. I see the snd_mixer_open function
opens an empty mixer, fine, does this imply that a software mixer has
to be built from the ground up? As in you add a pcm element, a master
element, a cd element depending on what is available on your
particular sound card to this empty mixer?
