too many alsamixer sliders

too many alsamixer sliders

[Maarten de Boer]

Hello,

Updating my fltk alsamixer frontend, alsamixergui, I once again
found that alsamixer (and therefore alsamixergui) shows a lot
of sliders. With my Audigy, it's really too much. I think it
would be very nice to be able to configure alsamixer, to show
only a subset of sliders. I guess a .alsamixerrc file in the
users homedirectory. But maybe the /etc/asound.state could be
used for that as well? It would be nice to have several presets
or groups..

Do you have any suggestions about how to do this? I would not
mind implementing it (I think it's won't be to much work), but
I'd like to have your opinion first.

Maarten

yep there are some problems regarding the control api:

- control names are sometimes too ambiguous

- controls are not structured
  thus we see too many controls in a row on alsamixer.

but i don't think it's good to put extra grouping info to the general
control api (at least on kernel level), partly because changing the
api should be avoided, and partly because the grouping is a kind of
tastes and each of us may have different ideas to assort them.

i once tried to write a mixer in a script language.
it uses config files for each driver, which define the grouping and
actions of controls, so that the mixer elements are sorted and looked
"ordinary".  the project was aborted for a while just due to lack of
time...

it would be possible to define a general config, such as based on
xml.  not sure whether it's worthy, though.

Maybe having a key in alsamixer to switch between playback and capture 
sliders groups.
Currently, playback and capture sliders are side by side, creating a 
rather long line of sliders.
