Sorry about that. The callbacks I was referring to are mixer callbacks, 
specifically snd_mixer_set_callback and snd_mixer_set_callback_private.

I wrote "public" in my original post, when I meant "private". And now that I'm 
looking at it I think I may have misunderstood what 
snd_mixer_set_callback_private was for.

Anyway, I'm just wondering if it's possible (while maintaining sanity) to 
interface one of these mixer callbacks with a class public function. Or if 
there is a better means to get feedback when changes are made to one of the 
simple mixer elements.

Thanks,
