i am not offering to change the interface, but to implement a simpler third interface (as usbaudio implements volume). poor diction on my part. the point is that there are currently two semi-incompatable interfaces, do people consider the current two adequate? (apparently volume was not, and i don't consider audioctl to be). and what do other people think about an alternative? tristan -- All original matter is hereby placed immediately under the public domain.
