 The setting in the settings table labelled "MixerControl" does not accept
 spaces from the frontend.  My machine, by default, doesn't appear to have
 either a PCM mixer or a Master volume control.  All the useful controls in
 the alsa mixer (amixer) have spaces in their name.

 When I update the database directly using the command: "update settings
 set data = "Analog Front" where value = 'MixerControl' and host = 'myth';"
 then I can control the volume via mythfrontend.

 I took a look through the code to see if I could make a change. The
 setting is configured in the file
 programs/mythfrontend/globalsettings.cpp.  However, it is using a control
 entitled "HostComboBox", which from the look of things by default doesn't
 accept spaces.  A lot of different things also use HostComboBox, so
 probably modifying it to accept spaces would be a bad idea.  It wasn't
 clear whether there is already a solution to this for other areas that use
 HostComboBox, or whether this is a new need that hasn't previously arisen.

 Any ideas?
