Does Volume control in playcd (+ and -) not work for you either??

Thankyou for examples. My brain begins to work, I could delete symlink
"cdp" and replace with script:
# #!/bin/ash
# mixer cd 40:40
# echo p |playcd
Well it is an idea I will have to experiment.

I have patched my binary to fix the volume control for my mulinux box.
Now 6376 bytes but with my limited knowledge of "C" I could not debug
the repeat track problem.
I attached the binary to an email to Dave Houghton. I assume he used RNA
to download his email as the attachment arrived encoded as base64.
Is there any facility within mu to convert this back to an executable?
On the subject of debugging the metastable version of mu (I can just
about follow the reasoning using differentiation [dx=0 could be an
inflection] but mathematics was never my strong subject).
I will send separate postings of features I have found that although not
critical may be areas for improvement.
