Since PNMixer seems to be only able to control the default ALSA device and maybe HD Audio Generic, I thought I could explicitly set the default ALSA device: ``` $ head -n 3 ~/.asoundrc # set the default ALSA device defaults.pcm.!card Generic_1 defaults.ctl.!card Generic_1 ``` Having my sound card of choice set as default ALSA device, makes PNMixer happy and everything works. I would say that this bug is more a limitation, than an actual misbehavior. But it's an annoying limitation, so it should be seen as a bug anyway. I am changing the bug report title and severity accordingly. Also I found an upstream issue about this limitation. I am hence setting the forwarded tag, as well. -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/ There's not a second to spare! To the laboratory! .....................................................
