Another thing: the volume controls stretch horizontally when the window is
resized - but not vertically, where that would be more important. A taller
volume slider allows more precise control.

An unrelated issue - as an experiment, I tried to run Quake2 and x11amp (I
would have used AlsaPlayer, but it has no playlist and does not work on my
computer right now) simultaneously, using both PCM outputs on my AudioPCI.
Since both use /dev/dsp, I made it a symlink to /dev/adsp, started quake2,
then changed the symlink to /dev/dsp0 and started x11amp. However, Quake 2
sounds like total crap using adsp! Switching x11amp to adsp and Quake 2 to
dsp0 makes everything sound great.

This might be related to the fact that the second PCM output on the es1370
only works at certain sample rates, I'll have to look into it.
