Package: linux-image-2.6.18-3-amd64 Version: 2.6.18-7 Severity: normal
I have an Creative Audigy 4 sound card which uses the snd-emu10k1 module from the Linux kernel. In the kernel versions 2.6.17 and before the line mixer used to be a playback mixer. But with 2.6.18 this changed and now it is a capture mixer. As a result I can no longer use the mixer in my TV and radio applications and I am not able to change the volume. My TV card uses the line input as its sound output. Maybe this is not a kernel bug and should be fixed in the TV and radio applications (kdetv and kradio in my case), but all sound cards I used before had the line mixer as playback mixer. So there was never a problem. The attached patch fixes the problem in the emu10k1 module by not rename the line mixer (as it was before). Regards, Markus
