OK, according to google its alot slower.. Supermount is looking like the 'fastest' way to acheive the same/similar results. Only, its another patch to a kernel on a headless box, So i'm not to keen to do it till I have to.. if you don't mount it sync, you can't unplug it safely your usb(key,whatever) , since copied data could not be flushed to the disk (remember floppy under linux, when you umount it). It's not slower, it's just it write the data immediately on the device.

Re: [Freevo-users] audio control (5.1 analog)
Georg Künzel wrote:
I have a SB 5.1 digital card and using the analog
output for 6 speakers. Problem: it is not a 5.1
speaker system with its own remote control.
Rear is connected to a hifi-system, front to an
active stereo speaker-set, front is the tv itself
and subwoofer an active subwoofer.
How to control all these speakers at once ?
I would like to use my happauge remote
or my keyboard, but freevo allows only control
over one audio ctrl. Any ideas to control IGaine,
Digital, OGaine and Volume at once ?
This is a small mixer plugin for freevo.
the idea was to control more than one mixer slider at a time
and control sliders that are not present in the ossmixer
like IEC958 (digital output).
You can simply put the script in src/plugins
and activate it with:
plugin.activate('alsa_mixer').
Be sure to remove the old one with: plugin.remove('mixer').
You then need a config line like this:
MAJOR_AUDIO_CTRLS = ['Master','Surround','IEC958']
some problems:
- the volume in/decreases not so fast than in the original mixer
- in digital audio control in/decreasing isnt supported so it only
can mute the channel
Good luck.

Nice work! A couple issues Freevo doesnt release my sound device when it quits. If I run it from a reset, i get full volume control. If I quit, and restart it says cant find mixer. and crashes when i use the volume controls. I dont think this is a mplayer problem, but I'll mess with it. But the biggest issue I have is with playback. Due to some software problems (ie bootsplash SisFB) I have to start my computer in 800x600. This wasnt a problem in 1.4.1, because I set my mplayer_defaults to -screenw 640 -screenh 480 and all was well.

I'm happy to make this my first contribution, but need your advice as to how its meant to work.. It should mount. If it doesn't, it's a bug. Maybe the guy who wrote it used an automounter. It doesn't.. so it's a bug then. Strange thing is i got it working with camera.py a while ago without using automount. And usbstorage.py is basicly the same code as camera.py was. Not sure where it goes wrong but i look into it and i'll try to find out what the diff is. Probably tomorrow. Its such a simple process that I don't see the need to patch a kernel or install another dependancy to get it going.. It should work using mount and umount. What i meant was that for usb storage devices some kernelside options are needed. In other words make sure if USB mounting works outside freevo. :-) But we probably passed that stage. /Robert --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
