This is one of those cases where people pass int values through pointer variables. The caller casts the int to a pointer, the callee casts the pointer back to an int. No information is lost. That's ugly, but it doesn't break on LP64. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber na...@mips.inka.de

You can try audio/cmixer, which is simple, but built specifically around our mixerctl. Landry

It crashes every time I touch the volume control or microphone control. All those cute mixer programs populating the ports tree are built for an OSS-style audio API which is very different from the OpenBSD mixer, and they don't work very well with the ossaudio compatibility library. It might be time to simply delete them. Mainly I reported this in case some bug had been introduced to openbsd that caused this crash to happen. xmix is still working so I am using it instead. I would say please leave at least one mixer program in the ports tree, they are very handy for openbsd desktop users such as myself. Can anyone recommend a gui mixer that is more suitable for interfacing with openbsd mixerctl? Brett.

Brett said it was working on i386 but not amd64. -- jake...@sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
