Double oops... sorry I accidently hit reply instead of reply to all.<br><br>Now I see you can access all the soundcard's features through [amixer], nice IOhannes!<br><br>So, I guess the only thing that would help is a help file... amixer is kindof a tricky tool.

<span id="st" name="st" class="st">amixer</span>, such as getting and setting the channel gains.

</span><div><br>There are alot of options on the hdsp, such as setting wordclocks and samplerates. Not really things that need to be scripted, but who knows. I like being able to print out info about what is going on too, which works using [shell].
<br><br>One thing that I am trying to figure out though.... how would you go about monitoring the levels that are being sent out? the hdspmixer shows them, but I can't find where in the code they calculate the amplitude envelope.
