please forgive me my ignorance on this topic...
 
I just had a look at the code and found two things:
- it sets up a timer to check if the mixer changed -- every 500ms. Isn't 1
  sec. enough? Even better have that value configurable, at least in a
  configfile to avoid creating new strings.

- apparently I get 4 mixer devices with ALSA, kmixapplet let's me choose to
  use one of them. But it installs the timer on all of them, i.e all 4 mixers are
  checked every 500ms currently. Can't we just check the configured one?

Cheers,
Carsten Pfeiffer
