I was not suggesting Pulse would replace a good alsa mixer at all. However, in the desktop world, it has taken over. So a lot of alsa mixers are falling into disrepair or at least are no longer being improved. In the audio workstation world a good alsa mixer is a must, but we will only find one if someone interested in professional audio develops it. I think in the past most alsa mixers were developed by people interested in bringing desktop audio to linux. -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel

Pulse also uses audio interface profiles and is very complete. I will see if I can revive qamix and maybe expand it. -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel

I would blame the hardware implementation. I thought the intel HDA was pretty standard, but having one mute affect three controls, but only unmute one is already a problem. Pulse deals with it correctly, remembering which channels have to be unmuted (normally two out of the three). However, we are looking for a mixer to use alongside jack when pulse has no control of the device. -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
