Package: python-alsaaudio
Version: 0.5+svn36-1+b1
Severity: normal
The mixer interface only allows to specify the alsa device by an integer
index, which is then translated into a device name by means of
translate_cardidx(), ie. as follows:
sprintf(name, "hw:%d", idx);
Both the global mixers() function and the Mixer() constructor do this.
But *not* all alsa devices that provide mixers are named hw:N. In
particular, software devices implemented by plugins can be named
anything they like. See for instance
http://www.thedigitalmachine.net/alsaequal.html
(the one I'm trying to control).
IMO, mixers() and Mixer() should allow a string to be passed in as an
alternative form of the argument and in that case it should be used
directly as the card name, bypassing the translation.
