Re: Behavior of sndioctl

Hi Yoshihiro,

Did you solve this? I'm experiencing a problem with sndioctl in
which toggling output.mute has no effect.

My sndioctl output is as follows:

$ sndioctl
input.level=0.494
input.mute=1
output.level=0.675
output.mute=0
server.device=0
app/firefox0.level=1.000
app/firefox2.level=1.000
app/firefox3.level=1.000
app/firefox4.level=1.000
app/firefox5.level=1.000
app/firefox6.level=1.000
app/firefox7.level=1.000
app/mpd0.level=1.000

I'm able to successfully change the volume of audio from running
programs by running `sndioctl output.level=0.XXX` but setting
output.mute=1 does nothing and audio can still be heard.

Any ideas?

NB: I have music playing through mpd that uses the software
sndio software output. I can mute mpd output by running `sndioctl
app/mpd0.level=0`. It seems output.mute is ignored.

Thanks,

James
