#this .asoundrc will will create a slider called "Software Master" that will control all playback volume
#you can name "Software Master" anything that isnt already in use
#save this file as ~/.asoundrc (per user setting) or /etc/asound.conf (system-wide setting)
#then play something using the 'default' pcm (speaker-test -c2 -Ddefault -twav , for example)
#then, when you run alsamixer, the slider should then be there.. on the far right.
#if its not, try rebooting (sometimes this is needed, and i havent figured out why yet)
#softvol control will control the volume of any/all programs using "default" as the device; not hw:0,0
# change default device:
# change slave.pcm "hw:0" to slave.pcm "dmix" to allow mixing;  edited:06-26-07
