For cd playback I'm using cdcontrol(1), so that is analog. For testing digital playback I was using the KDE "Test Sound" button. "mixer cd" does change the CD playback volume, it is "mixer vol" that doesn't change anything. I just installed xmms to see what it does. For digital playback, changing the xmms volume slider adjusts "pcm", not "vol". For analog playback, the xmms volume slider change volume (for three settings; "no mixer", "oss", and "cd drive"). The cdcontrol "volume" command does change the volume for playback and "mixer cd" does change volume for both cdcontrol playback and xmms analog playback (as expected). Regards, Jan Mikkelsen.
