Though I can't help you with your strange phenomena. xmms calling gmixer sounds very strange indeed. I can add my own experience from tonight however. (using GNOME) I was able to do everything with sound except record sound through the microphone. (I made sure the 'rec' from the mike was on in gmixer). Also: I could hear myself talk through the mike over the speakers) I was finally able to record through the mike by starting kmix from the commandline and putting the 'rec' on the mike-label there as well. Apparently gmixer settings are not always conveyed (Gconf perhaps) to the system. There is some strange things going on between the sound(server), the mixer(s), and the sound-programs. Fascinating.... --Tino Meinen
