Hi, I'm trying to enable the ALSA mixer module in Freevo 1.7.1, which mostly works (Full DMA audio capture for TV & Radio at last!), except in the case of handling the MUTE event via the setmute() call.
On two of my systems, which uses SiS chipsets, running FC5 with the latest released kernel, the ALSA Master control does not have MUTE support. Consequently when I attempt to MUTE, Freevo will crash (in the Main Menu, that is caught by a exception handler, but not within submenus). Interestingly, the oss mixer module does allow me to MUTE without any issues. I guess to be safe, the ALSA mixer support should be able to catch this case and either ignore the MUTE request, or else implement MUTE by setting VOL = 0. This gets a little more complicated, if it is possible to change the volume level while audio remains muted.
