That's the main reason for my lack of interest in this package.
It's still useful for people who use the OSS emulation layer of
ALSA, and it has a much better UI than alsamixer as far as console
mixers go.  popcon reports 2404 users.

Since alsa is replacing oss in the kernel completely, and everyone thus
has to use alsa, is aumix still usefull, or should it be rather removed
than orphaned?

Bug#452826: O: aumix -- Simple text-based mixer control program

2007-11-25 Thread Romain Francoise
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the aumix package.

The package description is:
 aumix is a small, easy-to-use program to control the mixer of your sound
 card. It runs in text mode using the ncurses library, or from the command
 line (non-interactively). It can read default settings from a file, and it
 can also automatically save and restore the mixer settings at shutdown and
 boot.
 .
 A wrapper script xaumix is provided that finds and invokes xterm or a
 replacement. This is primarily for creating the best sized terminal window.
 If you want a true graphical interface, install aumix-gtk instead. That has
 the same functionality as this one in addition to offering a nice X GUI.
 .
 The old companion package aumix-alsa, which did take advantage of the
 extra facilities in the ALSA sound driver, is no longer available.
 This package should work fine with the OSS compatibility layer of the
 modern ALSA drivers.
