Comment(by cavedon):
There is deep issue here: ALSA tries to expose a mixer that is as close as
possible to the hardware. So there might be multiple input mixers and
switches. There is no way within an application which one is the right
one, and the ALSA API gives not help in this direction. Qutecom makes two
reasonable attempt with guessing. "Capture" and "Master", that it gives
up. Well, it could help some people to let the qutecom user choose which
mixer slider to use, but then the user need to be sure it keep that switch
synchronized with the actual switch in the alsamixer choosing whcih
microphone to use. On the other side, it does not make sense to replicate
the whole mixer structure into qutecom.
My suggestion:
-use the ALSA mixer to adjust the volume
-and/or better: use Pulseaudio (each application will see a common
interface, with a per-application and unique mic volume slider)
