I think the point of Mario is that people like him don't have a DE, but work from console. I haven't checked, but apparently pavucontrol needs an X-session to show itself. Of course ALSA has the same problem that if you don't hear it you can't change it, but at least it doesn't require an DE just to change your sound settings (to get it to work). Maybe I haven't understood Mario's remark and I am fully wrong. Paul
