Wanted: KMix configuration files

[Christian Esken]

Hello,

I am currently working on the new configuration file format for KMix in KDE4. It is clear, that KMix's configuration file(s) have to change a lot: A *must* is the change from "device index" to "device unique key".  Optionally a more compact form will be used, less groups, ...
I'd like to give users a smooth transition, for example by running a configuration file converion script, or some other means (convert on-the-fly, ...).
For this I need clean test data. I would be very happy if as many people as possible could send me some test data - which means the configurations as actually used.

The optimal case would be if you execute the following lines, and send the resulting TGZ file to me (no need to fill the mailing list archive with that).

##############################################################
dirname=Your-Name    # Please use your Name (or Nick or something similar), but WITHOUT SPACES.

dir=~/$dirname
mkdir  $dir
cd ~/.kde/share/config
cp kmixrc kmixctrlrc kmix_panelapplet_* $dir
# The next line will make sure, that I know which panel configuration is active (if any)
grep kmix_panelapplet childpanel_panelextension* kickerrc > $dir/kmix_panelapplet.config
amixer -c 0 > $dir/amixer-0 2> /dev/null
amixer -c 1 > $dir/amixer-1 2> /dev/null
amixer -c 2 > $dir/amixer-2 2> /dev/null
amixer -c 3 > $dir/amixer-3 2> /dev/null
cat /dev/sndstat  > $dir/dev-sndstat 2> /dev/null
cd ~
tar cvzf $dirname-kmixrc.tgz $dirname
##############################################################

The TGZ will contain the KMix configuration (including kmixctrlrc, and PanelApplet configuration), and the Hardware specs of your soundcard(s).
Unfortuantely I need the complete information. If you feel I am asking too much (for privacy or some other reason), then simply send nothing: Artificial/faked/changed configs won't help, but rather confuse me.

Thanks,
  Chris
