I've also seen it mentioned in numerous places on Google. Problem is, softvol is a software volume control, and when you change the volume of say track 1, it puts track2 right back up at the max volume. Are there other players/ways to make mplayer only change alsa so that it'll keep it's volume through the entire song? Also, I want to use Bitlbee for my messengers. Has anyone written a script that just uses events to play sounds? contact signs on, new query opened, new message received etc? I know you can trigger on events, but I'm not sure how to trigger on specific events from within a specific connection, like bitlbee for example.
