It's been a while since I looked at this stuff, but the last time I looked at it, xvmixer didn't query the driver as to what devices were controllable, it just had the SoundBlaster devices hardcoded into it. "mixer", the tty interface, on the other hand, knows about all the devices. I often do something like mixer vol 90 mixer synth 50 mixer cd 30 to play a cd in the background, and to have any /dev/audio stuff louder than the CD for audio biff and such. (I modified "mixer" to print out all the volumes when you run it with no arguments, as well, I think that's much friendlier...) Bill
