I know this is no immediate help for you, but it might show to others
that it is indeed a good idea to go with the KISS idea: I.e., if you
write something as essential as a mixer control, PLEASE dont wrap it up in a GUI
by default, but make the underlying functionality available in some generic way,
such like as a library, or as a command-line tool.
In any case, when I get my M-Audio and finish raping envy24control,
I'll let the list know. Its all just C code after all...
thanks to other suggestions I got the x11 forwarding working with much
less pain than I had feared, and I must say that envy24control is a
pretty good tool.
But I'm fully-sighted so it was an option for me, although I would
certainly prefer a non-gui tool
