Well, if my experience is any good, try using a 'wss' driver instead of
the 'sb' driver.

Which reminds me:  'mixerctl -a' says totally different things for my wss0
than it did for my sb0; for instance, I used to be able to do
	mixerctl -w outputs.master=N
and now there's no 'outputs' settings at all.

The sb0 had ranges from 128 to 224, the wss0 seems to do 0-255.  Huh?
