Part of the problem I noticed with the Xfce mixer is the fact that the 
number of audio channels isn't quite working properly (at least under 
the various versions of Ubuntu I've used).

To solve this problem, I use the command alsa-mixer on the commandline 
to change the number of audio channels back to 2, as it seems that the 
audio software uses the line-in or microphone jack for the second pair 
of channels...

Is this a bug and a bug report be opened?

Daryl.
