I'd like to propose a different approach. This is a slight
modification of what I do on my own boxes (using a script in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d).
rc.conf (example):
mixer_enable="YES" # (default = NO)
mixer_config="/etc/mixer.conf" # (default)
mixer_device="/dev/mixer" # (default)
mixer.conf (example):
# some comment
vol 90
synth 50 # more comments...
bass 75
treble 50
mic 0
line 50
cd 80
speaker 0
igain 50
ogain 70
rc:
if [ "X${mixer_enable}" != X"NO" -a -f "${mixer_config}" ]; then
echo -n ' mixer'
slots=`mixer -f ${mixer_device} | cut -d' ' -f2 | tr '\n' '|'`recsrc
sed 's/#.*$//' ${mixer_config} | egrep "$slots" | xargs mixer -f ${mixer_device}
fi
Just my 0.02 Euro...
Regards
Oliver
