custom palettes on AlsaMixer

[ghost]

hi! i’ve been using AlsaMixer since years! i’m now using version 1.0.29 (from Ubuntu 15.10 repository)

it needs a possibility of changing the colour palette - sometimes we need, for example, dark text over bright background, and so on - and would be even great if we could create and share palette files at opendesktop.org and alike

a bug or misfeature i found is that, on Unity volume control (Ubuntu) we are able to have amplified volume, but when we adjust the volume back on AlsaMixer, the amplification automatically switches off, and we find no way to have amplification back from there

thanks and cheers,
p.

The color combination for alsamixer is an interesting question, and so is the extra amplification one. I use alsamixer to set the overall levels and lower the right side down by 6db because my left ear is way down above 4Khtz. What I find is that if I boost either side much over 0db I will get distortion and crackling when the input is extra loud. So in other words I tend to sit on 0db or less and use extra amplitude in the app (like VLC) instead for the few occasions I might need it.

I think you are best to ask both these questions on the alsa-users mailing-list (try separate messages, one per question). Feel free to update this ticket with the solutions if you care to...
