Yeah I totally agree - its a nightmare - I was just going by example -
I used the alsamixer code to fix ALSA mixer code in RAT and had to
look at EKIga and various others to see what (if anything) we were
doing wrong in RAT and seeing how others do it. But the docs a next to
useless as ALSA is pretty complex. I was hoping someone off the ALSA
team might write a book or something. It really takes too much time to
go read the code...
