[Bug 41871] Re: xmms' volume slider should not mess with PCM but with master

[Raoul Verveer]

This is not a bug, it's just a setting:

If you open the option dialog in xmms you can configure your Audio I/O
plugin:

1) ALSA: you can choose to use a software mixer, or a hardware mixer. If
you go for the hardware mixer you can select any mixer device (Master,
PCM, Line, Synth, etc.) from your soundcard.

2) OSS: here you can only choose a (hardware) audiocard and mixer
device. In the mixer tab, you can (un)check the option that causes XMMS
to "use master, not PCM"
