ALSAmixer controls the output/input channels of the ALSA chaining. MPlayer attaches to one of the ALSA channels and pushes data through, but does not work at the hardware level (unless its codec does). Regardless, I am glad the suggestion worked for you. MPlayer and MEncoder are some of the best open-source software (OSS) I have ever used. I love so many things about MPlayer, and where do I start... The fact that you can do all kinds of filtering, cropping, rotating of the output is great. The fact that you can perform format conversion, dictate frame-dropping, dictate the codec to use, etc,... great. But the greatest power of MPlayer (in this guy's opinion) is when you drive it from a filesystem pipe and have it operate like a blackbox behind your own software. I do that for still image extraction, etc. Waaaaaay too useful to go un-mentioned.
