So, if they are standard users hence only need 4 or 5, 6 channels max, they
would probably like to have everything on the same panel as well ?

I notice that "ALSA" does not arrange my channels in the same way as OSS does,
which I think only goes to demonstrate how arbitraty the Playback/Capture split
is ? Hence the need to be able to force it to arrange them the way the user wants.
> What soundcard do you have ?
No sound card as such, just the usual/classic on-board 'AC 97 chip that the
motherboard came with. Nothing fancy really, yet plenty good enough for I ask it
to do... :-)

Sure, I attached everything :
- OSS_Playback
- OSS_Capture
- ALSA_Playback
- ALSA_Capture
