In addition to that, the output of the command is different. Shouldn't we keep supporting the previous way of interacting with mixer? I know that people are scripting mixer and its output in production in order to control soundcards. Are there any good reasons to keep the new mixer(8) as it is now while keeping the old name? Perhaps we could change the name of the new mixer to, e.g., newmixer. Users are going to have to rewrite their scripts for mixer(8) anyway for 14.0. Best, Mateusz Piotrowski
