   Maybe.
 
   I'm sure it is OSS specific. I know nothing about mixers in other  
 OSS-based systems. Perhaps in other systems /dev/mixer is always  
 /dev/mixer0. If somewhere there is /dev/mixer _instead_ of /dev/mixer0  
 (there is no /dev/mixer0 device), this patch would broke these systems.
   If such systems don't exist, I don't see any reason to bind to /dev/mixer  
 instead of /dev/mixer0 directly[1] (and it should go upstream).
 
 [1]:
 case 0:
    return QString("/dev/mixer");
    break;
 default:
    QString devname("/dev/mixer");
    devname += ('0'+devnum);
    return devname;
