Well, I find the current mixer abstraction isn't powerful enough, and
is too complex OTOH. It's based on the old and gothic style of
mixture between OSS and older ALSA API.

I agree with redesign of the SB-live mixer components. Or, an
addition of "master" control and hides many things in the mixer
abstration layer.
