[xine-user] No Volume Control In Xine with ALSA output

[Erik S. <ha...@co...>]

Hello,
I am having a problem with Xine and ALSA. I have no control over the
audio volume/mute through the GUI while Xine is playing anything using
the ALSA output plugin. When I run a mixer app (such as alsamixer) in a
terminal window I can see the PCM volume changing when I move the slider
in the user interface but this has no effect on the device (master still
works though). If I try to move the slider through alsamixer it also has
no effect. If I switch to the OSS plugin (ALSA OSS emu) it works fine. I
also have no problems with ALSA in XMMS (using ALSA output plugin) or
any other applications.

Using Xine-lib 1.0.0rc3 and Xine-ui 0.9.22 compiled from source.
Using ALSA driver, libs, tools and utils 1.0.0rc2
SB Audigy Sound Card

Same problem with pre-compiled RPMS from various sources.

RH9 System running 2.6.0 Kernel.
Xine reports no errors at startup.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
