The problem I am having is that the softvol control does not appear to amixer until I have first used the softvol plugin with aplay. Is there a simple way of 'loading' the softvol plugin at startup so that the control gets created immediately?

As an aside I had to patch alsa-utils/alsactl/names.c to make it work with my alsa lib as I have disabled midi & seq support. The patch is below, the problem with it is that alsa-lib does not expose in a header anywhere what is enabled/disabled (alsa-lib/include/config.h appears to be a private header that does not get installed). --- alsa-utils-1.0.16/alsactl/names.c 2008-05-07 19:03:59.000000000 +0100 +++ alsa-utils-1.0.16/alsactl/names.c.new 2008-05-07 19:03:53.000000000 +0100 @@ -282,6 +282,7 @@ static int probe_pcm(snd_config_t *confi return 0; } +#ifdef BUILD_RAWMIDI static int probe_rawmidi_virtual(snd_config_t *config, const char *name, const char *comment) { @@ -411,6 +412,7 @@ static int probe_rawmidi(snd_config_t *c return err; return 0; } +#endif // BUILD_RAWMIDI static int probe_timers(snd_config_t *config) { @@ -473,6 +475,7 @@ static int probe_timer(snd_config_t *con return 0; } +#ifdef BUILD_SEQ static int probe_seq(snd_config_t *config) { int err; @@ -492,15 +495,20 @@ static int probe_seq(snd_config_t *confi return err; return 0; } +#endif typedef int (probe_fcn)(snd_config_t *config); static probe_fcn * probes[] = { probe_ctl, probe_pcm, +#ifdef BUILD_RAWMIDI probe_rawmidi, +#endif probe_timer, +#ifdef BUILD_SEQ probe_seq, +#endif NULL }; -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Will Wagner will_wagner@carallon.com Senior Project Engineer Office Tel: +44 (0)20 7371 2032 Carallon Ltd, Studio G20, Shepherds Building, Rockley Rd, London W14 0DA ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

A good point. Although one can check the existence easily via some ifdefs of constants that should be defined in each header, it'd be of course better to have proper defines to indicate the availablity of each component...
