Again going back to my feelings about mixer names, for the purposes of a laptop I think providing a knob called Center or another called LFE just adds to the confusion. > And any control of speaker volume? > =20 Speaker volume is handled by the combination of Master, PCM, and Front mixers.

I look at the mixers being presented to me, and I've no idea what "Mono Mux" is there for, or why I've got several "Digital Input Source" areas.=20 > This must be included.

I have been operating off of web snapshots of alsa-driver from http://www.alsa-project.org/snapshot/ since I can't do GIT internally here, but I'm not seeing the patch show up in alsa-driver there.
