    Better audio mixer wanted

    On (at least) the 6.2 CD version, the most n00b-friendly mixer I see is aumix. However, aumix is still not that friendly, since
    (a) I ssume it still uses OSS, and the OSS interface to some audio cards seems to miss a lot of controls (this was the case in 6.0.1), and
    (b) controlling a second or third audio device from aumix requires a command-line incantation to get it going.
    I am remastering Knoppix to provide a system to some people who are not ever in any imaginable world going to start up aumix with the command line.

    Thus I would like a more n00b-friendly mixer.

    kmix is suitable, but unfortunately requires huge amounts of KDE stuff to be installed to make it useful (and I am trying to keep my remaster reasonably small).

    Can anyone recommend a easy-to-use GUI mixer for Knoppix 6.2?

    Thanks.
    Jim

    Thanks, but it is not very n00b-friendly. After playing with it for a few minutes I saw no gui way of selecting the non-default sound card. And I'm guessing if I didn't immediately see it, the people I am making this for wouldn't either.

    Cheers.

    I'm guessing that not too many people care, but for anyone reading this thread in the future, so far gnome-alsamixer is the best mixer I've found that does not require kde.
