[linux-audio-user] [PATCH] envy24control widget limits

Hi Ross,

That patch sounds handy - the default envy24controlmixer is very wide 
at the moment, due to those (excellent) level meters. With an 8 
channel card you still have to do a lot of horizontal scrolling to 
see all the faders.

Do you think there could be a way to display the inputs and outputs in 
multiple seperate rows, to make better use of conventional display 
dimensions? We run Audacity in one Blackbox workspace and 
envy24control in another, so the mixer could happily take up a whole 
1024x768.

You could maybe run three rows if you had enough display resolution, 
or didn't mind using a vertical scroll bar:

Row 1: hardware inputs 1-x
Row 2: hardware outputs 1-x
Row 3: PCM outputs 1-x

That would make more sense to me - you could compare inputs and 
outputs at a glance, by looking at a vertical strip of level meters. 
This would be like the convention on mixing desks, where each channel 
is grouped vertically.

Cheers

Daniel
