By that I meant that Myth asks for the "Mixer Device", which should 
refer to a valid OSS or ALSA mixer device, such as /dev/mixer, 
/dev/mixer0, default, or ...  However, a given ALSA mixer device (such 
as default) has available to it several controls, such as "PCM" or 
"Master" or "Analog Front" or "Center" or "Surround" or ...  Therefore, 
you cannot just put the mixer control name into Myth's "Mixer Device" 
setting and expect it to work.  Myth does not provide a setting for 
configuring the mixer control name to use with the mixer device, other 
than the setting to choose either "PCM" or "Master" (the "Mixer 
Controls" setting).

And therein lies the problem with posting a script you played with a 
while back without re-acquainting yourself with the script.  I didn't 
even realize I posted a space-delimiting script to a "has spaces" 
question...  :(

Anyway, thanks for the heads-up, and attached is one that's space-friendly.
