A documentation problem :)

I will update docs if someone tells me what to commit.

"inputs" sounds confusing. I had tried inputs.dac03 earlier, but no 
change. But I have success now with inputs.dac02:


$ mixerctl -w inputs.dac03=0,0                        
inputs.dac03: 99,99 -> 0,0
$ mixerctl -w inputs.dac03=200,200
inputs.dac03: 0,0 -> 199,199

No change above.

$ mixerctl -w inputs.dac02=200,200                    
inputs.dac02: 123,123 -> 199,199

That made is loud! Louder than my previous laptop.

$ mixerctl -w inputs.dac02=0,0
inputs.dac02: 199,199 -> 0,0

And 0,0 is very quiet (but still some sound).

$ mixerctl -w inputs.dac02=200,200
inputs.dac02: 0,0 -> 199,199

Back to listening again.

Thanks. I appreciate your time.

If anyone has some suggestions on what and where to document, please let 
me know.
