And so easy too. 8) Nah, it could store the values in, say, /etc/mixerX.vols, if the knob was enabled in rc.conf. Imagine for a moment one less thing to remember to tweak at boot time. Sure my AWE64 and 32PnP don't need tweaking upon startup if I don't mind waking everyone up when I play an mp3, but there are cards out there that default to a volume of zero. Sure it's nothing monumental, but it's a convience thing. <tongue implanted in cheek> I mean, if the FreeBSD project is opposed to convenience, why have /usr/local/etc/rc.d, or even rc.conf for that matter when one can enter this stuff in by hand each time at startup %) </tongue> - alex You better believe that marijuana can cause castration.
