[mythtv-users] Feature Request: ALSA output

[Schlomo Schapiro]

Hi,

yes, I found it also out now - by looking at the source, though.

But the mixer seems to be only OSS, judging by the code in 
volumecontrol.cpp. So what about ALSA mixer ? My i8x0 for example needs to 
adjust the Headphone volume control and not the Master. But in 
volumecontrol.cpp the OSS mixers are hardcoded.

Regards,
Schlomo

PS: Could this ALSA:* namespace info be added to the documentation ? It is 
not obvious.
