Thanks for the response.  I actually have no idea. ;-)

There is no "esd" process running, so I suspect that's out.

alsamixer does indeed adjust the input and output volumes, but I do
understand that I could be outputting via ALSA in "OSS emulation" mode.

Is there something in /proc/asound that would allow me to answer that
question?  Or is there some generic GNOME and/or RB setting for telling
it to use OSS emulation (/dev/dspX) vs. "native" ALSA devices that I can
look for?

Thanks again,
