I'm using alsa, when I launch this program I got
** (process:9633): WARNING **: Can't open /dev/mixer !!! Quiting ..

My  mistake. I compiled this with OSS and never tested it with alsa.

I will try again with both systems installed.

It turns out that this is not an OSS/alsa issue, but a matter of whether /dev/mixer exists.

I tested the current program on my hardware with independent installs of OSS and alsa. In both cases, /dev/mixer was present and the program ran correctly.

Does this mean that alsa runs on your machine using a different device than /dev/mixer?

I guess that the info file will need updating to add that restriction.

Thanks for testing this.
