Hallo, i have question about controlnames, or if i correctly understand it:

Capture Source - you can capture only from one of two (or more) sources. On switching mic a or mic b will be enabled or disabled. /--(o)--mic b cap switch--- --(x)--mic a

Input Source - same as capture source but more verbose /---(Mute/Vol)--Mic a input switch--(a(x)/b(o))-- ---(Mute/Vol)--Mic b

more complicated setup:

+---(Mute/Vol)--Mic a input switch a-(a(x)/b(o))--+ +---(Mute/Vol)--Mic b input switch b-(a(x)/b(o))--+

jack mode - you can choice to put VREF on the line or not. /---(Mute/Vol)-(mode)-Mic a input switch--(a(x)/b(o))-- ---(Mute/Vol)-(mode)-Mic b

i hope i understand it correctly. Now is my situation:

+---------+--(Mute/Rec)-(mode)-Mic a input switch a-(a(x)/b(o)/mix(o))--+ | +---------+--(Mute/Rec)-(mode)-Mic b input switch b-(a(x)/b(o)/mix(o))--+ | +--mixer--+<---(Mute/Vol for Mic a/b)

are there any way to make alsamixer less verbose but still productive?
