 Hi

 I read in ubuntu-studio-devel archive that you wrote about qamix. I used
 qamix when it was still available in ubuntu universe repository.

If there is a debian src package (even old) it may be helpful to me. Thank
you for mentioning that it has been in Ubuntu repos. All I could find was
the sourceforge download.

 It is
 very high quality, much better than xfce4-mixer, for example. I guess it
 is not developed currently, http://alsamodular.sourceforge.net/ It just
 worked!

With the advent of pulse for desktop audio, the author may have felt it
was no longer useful. Pulse also uses audio interface profiles and is very
complete. I will see if I can revive qamix and maybe expand it.

 Lucid Server is still supported; maybe that package is still available:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=qamixsearchon=namessuite=allsection=all

I downloaded the package. I had thought it was qt3, but the ubuntu package
src I downloaded is only qt3 because it uses qt 1/2 compatibility libs.

 Some people prefer not to have PulseAudio on their audio workstation, if
they do not need it.

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.
