Single device here: MAudio Delta1010LT card:
CPU 20% on idle, and when adjusting sliders it's around 50%. All OK.
You asked for it, he he...
Can't resize height below certain amount - it's too tall.
I don't see what tab or control is preventing it.
Maybe the analog volume controls...
Ah - maybe their slider scale markings and numbers.
Too many of them vertically?
I too noticed odd monitor and volume slider behaviour, not present
in the original mixer.
The slider knobs have a large amount of 'hysteresis', that is they
don't move until you move the mouse a large amount.
I propose that the "multi track rate locking" be renamed to just
"lock" ( *not* "locked" because believe it or not I actually thought
that was an indicator, not a control - there is confusion with the
"locked" label underneath the "word clock" button, speaking of which
should be moved down slightly or coloured because it reads like
"word clock locked" ), and that "multi track rate reset" be renamed to
"reset", and that the "Rate State" group box be renamed to
"Multi Track Rate State" *or* left alone at just "Rate State" because
frankly I find the phrase "Multi Track" a bit confusing esp. in other mixers,
but you are right, it should match what ALSA calls it.
Whew.
Well, cheers, talk @ you later. Tim.
