Well, then I will try out 1.9.2... is it already in the beta, or just in today svn? I tried to set 'Master', since this is set as default in the plugin code and this matches well with my setup. But then I gave up since another error raised (the same as in alsamixer 2). But my other question is, do you and others use alsamixer or the oss wraper? I think the alsamixer plugins are far away of ideal, I wrote once an alsamixer3 just for my needs (for 1.8.1) but this was not generally coded for others. My question now: is there a need to publish an improved alsamixer plugin or not (e.g. everybody is happy with oss wraper or today alsamixer?)
