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 > > Signed-off-by: David Henningsson > > -- > David Henningsson, Canonical Ltd. > http://launchpad.net/~diwic
