Ok will check thatt. Umm how exactly? I tried:

file /dev/dsp and
ls -la /dev/dsp*
but neither of them showed me the target of the link as far as I can tell. THere are no arrows "->" at least. A silly newbie question, how do I show where a symbolic link is pointing? I read ls --help and ln --help with no luck so far.

dunno, I don't know Redhat tools too well.
There was some nice one called soundconfig or something. I think I'll go ahead and try it.

I think apt-cahce is even better, never knew it existed :)
Well, Mario just told me on this list the other day, I wouldn't have known otherwise.

aumix works fine, but ALSA has it's on mixer-tools.
apt-get install aumix
went fine
However, issuing aumix simply says:
aumix:  error opening mixer

Nice, it doesn't even tell me which mixer it tried. That's about as informative as the message "database changed", that you get in MySQL, <smiley>
