gnome-alsamixer does not save any mix properties
Last modified: 2010-06-20 22:01:15 UTC
My soundcard is a SigmaTel STAC9750/51 My OS is gentoo (but this has happend on FC1,2,3 for me also. Run gnome-alsamixer, File -> Properties Uncheck Various Mixer Elements Names. I now either: 1) close properties dialog then reopen to find all names are checked 2) close properties dialog, quit gnome-alsamixer, restart gnome-alsamixer to find all names are checked When I check Mixer Element Names, they dissapear in gnome-alsamixer only until it is closed and restarted. Basically all controls are always visible upon restarting gnome-alsamixer. This seems to be badly broken for me from long ago, I'm sorry I've only gotten around to filing a bug till now.
Created attachment 37417 [details] [review] Patch to escape slash with underscore on load & save configurations. This problem occurs whenever soundcard name or slider/toggle names has slash ('/') signi in the name. Functions that loads/saves configuration uses slash as special char, so it cannot be part of name loaded/saved. Attaching patch that fix this.
