Maybe Ian could implement the sound_Volume(), sound_SetVolume(), and  
sound_SetRecordLevel() functions, which are currently stubs.  
Hopefully that would avoid the need for alsamixer, and also make the  
nav-bar volume control work.

Sure. I'll note though that Ian apparently forgot to put the ALSA  
module in the list of auto-probed modules in sqUnixMain.c. If that  
was added, it should work automatically.

Also, for some reason, the vm-sound-OSS plugin dir now contains ALSA?!
