There're also some implemented features I couldn't test at all because my rather basic hardware doesn't support it. - Mixer elements with more than two channels. If the sliders arrangement or some graphics for your card with 32 channels per element look weird, please drop me a note and/or a screenshot. - Is-active flag In theory the mixer should support dynamic hiding and revealing of elements whose is-active flag changes. If it doesn't or even crashes, please tell. Any comments are welcome. Best, Sebastian H.
