Quirky 8.2 tester Philb reported some sound issues, and posted a link to an improved MSCW by Geoffrey:

Geoffrey's forum post is here:

...that thread continues on with improvements by jlst, and I even see that I posted, that I had downloaded jlst's PET -- however, I got distracted then never got back to it.

Quirky has MSCW (Multiple Sound Card Wizard) version 2.2. This was originally written by kirk, with updates by npierce, rodin.s, 01micko, BK (me).

I have put Geoffrey's script into the PET and bumped the version to 3.0. The PET has a pinstall.sh script, that renames /usr/bin/alsamixer to alsamixer.bin, and alsamixer.script to alsamixer -- that was in 2.2 and left it in 3.0.

I haven't checked out the PET by jlst, and Philb has reported that Geoffrey's script works, and it is fairly minimal change to the previous script.

The new PET (2KB):
