List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: hi there, whenever I try to turn the capture off for my mic and the capture options with either alsamixer or amixer, I find I can't turn my mic capture off nore once I've turned my capture off can I turn it back on. this is proving to be a right royal pain as I'm working on a shell script to enable someone doing live streaming to be able to do voice overs announcements and back announcements with a minimum of fuss. basically, all the user need do is type ./vo s in order to talk and ./vo m in order to mute the mic and continue playing their music. if anyone has found similar problems please let me know how you've managed to overcome them. thanks in advance. oh, I'm using alsa 0.9.0rc7 if that helps any. -- Shaun Oliver "We're upgrading /dev/null" EMAIIL: shaun_oliver@optusnet.com.au ICQ: 76958435 MSN: blindman_2001@hotmail.com YAHOO: blindman01_2000
