Cc: "alsa-devel@alsa-project.org" List-Id: alsa-devel@alsa-project.org Hello, I am the author of alsamixergui. I am not actively maintaining alsamixergui= anymore (and haven=92t been for years). It is pretty much coincidence that= I saw this mail thread; a slightly more informative subject would have hel= ped. There is not much that I can add to this thread (thanks everyone for your r= eplies), but in short: - alsamixergui is just a graphical frontend, and exposes the mixer capabili= ties of the sound card in the same way alsamixer, amixer or any other alsa = mixer does, so this is not alsamixergui specific. (strongly based on the al= samixer code (verbatim) with fltk gui code added to it.). - this is not a software problem, this is a hardware problem. The user adju= sts the mixer to cause a feedback between speaker and internal microphone, = and leaves this running for >30 seconds, and his hardware can=92t deal with= it. It is probably not even operating system specific. Finally, I really don=92t like the tone you use, Nikita, particularly your = talk of =93exposing the individuals guilty=94 and your accusations of secre= cy. And "expose clearly to the public that tool as a virus/malware, and inf= orm the antivirus authorities about it.=94, really? Good luck with that. If you want to blacklist alsamixergui from your distro, please go ahead, bu= t don=92t forget to blacklist alsamixer and amixer too, as well as any othe= r alsa mixer front ends.
