kmix: can't resize the window(from the corners), and the sliders occupy almost all screen real estate. I have to use alsamixer instead.
I can confirm this. @tpowa: What would break if we do not use any alsa snapshots but the stable release?
I think th emost important argument for using snapshots is that they support more odd variants of soundcards in laptops and other weird devices. From what I can tell, not much in the functioning of the drivers themselves changes unless alsa actually does release. It's a lot of work to break out just PCI-ids and mixer tables properly so I see that as a reason to go with a full backport. Nevertheless, my snd-hda-intel (actually a realtek card on an nvidia board, weird huh?) doesn't do playback anymore. alsamixer pops out of nowhere but the mixer devices are some I have never seen before and make no sense in the way they are labeled.
