This is a cool idea, but it starts to make a simple, intuitive mixer
a complicated beast...

This is what I was asking about with regard to both the main out and
with regard to individual channels. I want to be able to control the
level of a stereo channel with one fader.

I'm trying to compile 0.0.2 on my Debian sid machine, but not having
any luck getting ./configure to work.

------ ./configure output ------
checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.1 (20021021)) (library 
qt-mt) not found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.
Make sure that you have compiled Qt with thread support!

Hrmph.

Anyone know if this is the right library package I need, and if
so how to convince autoconf that it's there?
