[gentoo-user] alsamixergui with gentoo-sources-2.6.26

[gentoo-user] alsamixergui with gentoo-sources-2.6.26

[James]

All,

I have a weird one here. I have been using alsamixergui for quite some
time without problems on kernel 2.6.24. The other day I upgraded to
2.6.26 and now every time I try to modify the volume level(s) on
alsamixergui for any one of the devices, the mixer just completely
hangs. The only way to get it back is to do a kill -9 <pid>.

This happens consistently. (Un)muting works fine on the mixer, but
changing volume levels always results in a complete hang.

alsamixer (the text version) works beautifully.

I've upgraded to the latest version of alsamixergui with no success.

Thoughts?

the funny thing: every mixer I try works. Except alsamixergui.

It's very possible it's just a bug with alsamixergui...I may file a
Gentoo bug so that it can be pushed upstream.
