aplay CVS now works. alsamixer CVS is slightly odd.

[Chris Rankin]

Hi,

With the latest changes to pcm.h and pcm.c, the CVS
version of aplay now works OK, thanks. However, the
CVS alsamixer seems to be displaying its graphics
incorrectly. Some of the columns (with the SB Live!
card) have no numbers underneath them, and the "Mic
Select" and "Mono Output Select" columns are missing
entirely except for the tags "Mic1" and "Mix"
respectively.

The rc3 alsamixer works OK with the CVS
libasound.so.2, and so I can add that all the
incorrect columns should have the value "0", although
not all of the zero-value columns are incorrect.

Cheers,
Chris

Note that these controls are enumerated (it's a list of available 
options). If you have an idea for better representation, let us know.

Eh? I am merely pointing out that the alsamixer-CVS
display looks different to the alsamixer-rc3 display.
My initial reaction was "bug"; are you saying that
it's supposed to look like this?

Takashi added a visual representation for new controls. This control says:
We have a list of string, please, select one. There is no number
corresponding with the hardware settings in this case (I speak about 'PCM
Out Path & Mute' or 'Mic Select' bars). Anyway, it seems that numbers for
controls without "volume" settings are removed, too. It seems ok to me:
user might took a hint that up/down buttons won't work for these bars.
It would be nice to have more these hints to show that only mute 
and/or capture select will work for given bars, but I'm out of ideas to 
show this in text environment.

yes, it's a new feature on the cvs version.

you can change the enumerated controls on alsamixer by up/down keys.
good for ice1712 driver, etc.

also, if the control has no representive volume but only a toggle
switch, no volume number will be displayed, in order to avoid
confusion.  you had experience to try to push up/down on a certain
control and screamed that not work, too, don't you? ;)
