[LAU] no software mixer in usb soundcard - possible workarround?

[Atte André Jensen]

Hi

I have an Edirol UA-1A usb soundcard, that I started using in my server 
with mpd as a music playing device. Most mpd clients has a volume knob 
that worked with the crappy build-in soundcard, but not with the usb 
one. I seem to remember that I never saw anything in my gnome mixer for 
this soundcard, and also has a vague idea that it simply might not have 
a mixer buildin or it's not supported by alsa.

Long story short: Is this just me misconfiguring it (if so what could be 
wrong) or is there a software solution to allow me to change the volume 
of the soundcard from mpd clients?
