I've got a Terratec DMX 6-fire card (ice1712/envy24 chipset) running in
a headless box with no X; I control it from the commandline over ssh.
Does anyone know if there is a way of running envy24control without X?
or is there a commandline mixer that has the same capabilities? Or even
some comprehensive documentation for amix? the man pages are fairly cryptic.
Specifically, the problem is that I can't persuade the front panel phono
input to accept a stereo signal; amix is convinced that it's mono.

The day I am going to buy a M-Audio card (which is fairly soon I hope),
I will have to rewrite envy24control in a NON-GUI fashion. All my boxes are headless,
because I can not use graphical UIs at all.
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
