Greetings. Any of you people using alsa directly for volume control, did you try to use tinyalsa[0] for this? It looks simpler and all those sentence‐func‐ tions could be easily replaced to something shorter and a bit more pro‐ grammer‐friendly so more people would use it as a sound library. For now the entry barrier to using alsa is too high and I sometimes think it’s another plot by Red Hat to destroy the Open Source world.
Sincerely, Christoph Lohmann [0] https://github.com/tinyalsa/tinyalsa/commits/master
