IMO, it's ok - we already have envy24control with gtk. so, if no one has objection, i'll try to put to alsa-tools, too. 2. the change of control interface above would make the access to a matrix mixer over the standard control API much easier without using the non-official indirect accessing. could you try to port the driver to use that feature? thanks, Takashi ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: ValueWeb: Dedicated Hosting for just $79/mo with 500 GB of bandwidth!
