</span>Yes, looks like you are right. But do those options have any

</span>How con the kernel be a problem since Alsa includes its own

And one more question: does anybody have speaker mute feature working
on ANY hardware? I never had it working neither on my laptops nor my
desktops. Maybe it's a missing feature, not a bug? <br>
