My Vista (for school) installs runs fairly well also.
Unlike you, I hate the new volume mixer. I record my records and when I tried to do it in Vista I eventually just gave up. I don’t like Audacity but at least I can get my PCs sound to it to record in a sane manner. I did finally figure out how to do it in Vista, but it was hard to find the right place, and overall just a PITA.

I’ll have to confirm the method when I get home, but I believe you can right-click on the volume applet and CTRL+Click on multiple channels, which is necessary on a multi-speaker setup.

I’m not sure if there is a simple way of having the volume key handler do the same sort of rebinding it to amixer commands.

Pulse Audio should offer you the “per application volume” stuff.

It depends. The doctor said 2 month minimum, it just took me 2 weeks. Good luck with your mono, it is never fun.

You’ve got “the kissing disease”! Cool!
