No master mixer on SB Live! 5.1
I'm trying to use an old SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 in a MythTV frontend. The card seems to work. All speakers are exercised with the speaker-test program. Unfortunately, I don't have a single mixer to control master volume. That's a total showstopper for MythTV and Xine.
Volume sliders for each channel work fine, but the "Master" channel only affects the front two speakers. Is there some asound.conf trickery that can be done to make "Master" affect all audio channels like it should?
I'm to the point that I might start hacking around with the driver itself.
