Well, "Front" doesn't mean the physical output but rather the output
channels.  So, it doesn't conflict with the fact that this control
actually changes all outputs, as long as the output jacks are of front
channels.  In that sense, even "Surround" is also a sort of Master
control.

That being said, I'm not happy with this rename.  If any, we should
try to get rid of unnecessary front volume control.  But, just because
PA gets confused doesn't sound like a right reason.

Could you give the alsa-info.sh output for checking what mixer elements
are created?


thanks,

Takashi
