Closed by upload of grml-autoconfig 0.9.18.

I didn't receive any feedback but the code works fine for me on several of my systems, as I'd like to see this issue fixed in the upcoming stable release I'm merging the code right now. Upload will close this issue then.

JFTR: Testing NOT only on IBM hardware, it's interesting for every piece of hardware where Grml is running. :) Usage instructions when running Grml: source ./mixer config_mixer regards, -mika-

config_mixer of /etc/grml/autoconfig.functions fails on quite a lot of IBM systems with "amixer: Unable to find simple control 'PCM',0", so the mixer volumes aren't adjusted as wanted. The attached mixer script addresses this issue, gets rid of aumix, doesn't use fix_ibm_sound() any longer and also addresses systems with several soundcard devices. Works fine on several of my test systems, though I'd highly welcome any feedback from testers before integrating it into mainline grml-autoconfig.
