I could control Alsa'x mixer for Master or PCM but that looks like a bad thing to do since it changes the volume for every other app as well. Is there another mixer I could use which is application specific? Or do I need to implement an application internal filter to control the volume by modifying the audio stream? Thanks, Wolfgang
