PulseAudio doesn't allow me to adjust any sound properties of card other than volume

[spstarr]

When running 'alsamixer' I only see '<Master>' as the option to adjust volume, I cannot adjust volume of microphone, line in/line out, treble, bass as one would normally see if ALSA was controlling audio.

Is there plans to make PA expose more than just master sound?

I have a HDA Intel - ALC882, but this isn't specific to this, all my onboard sound devices only show me 'Master' there's no ability to adjust anything but volume.

It is my explicit plan to get rid of crazy mixer options noone understands. We expose only a single volume slider per sink/source and assume the others are properly initialized. Unfortunately ALSA mixer initialization is still incomplete but we hopefully will have a better defaults databse available eventually.

That said, a few options will eventually be conrtolled in some way via PA. For example, instead of exposing just the master volume we will expose an integrated wave+PCM slider that alllows you to control the multiplied volume of both controls. Also, switching of the recording input source and output target (i.e. headphone vs. internal speakers) will be integrated into the "profile" mechanism that is new in 0.9.15.

I wouldn't call Bass and Treble 'dumb' options nobody understands. Please don't make PA into some dumbed down interface only. This will only encourage people to want to remove it.

Bass/treble should be implemented ina software equalizer if at all.
