I just did some more testing of KCat's mixer. One notable thing was Ben's
SEKRIT PROJACT actually performed a bit better than it used to :) The volume
"bug" no longer exists, music played at full volume. Ben's SEKRIT PROJACT
uses DUMB, and a fair bit of one shot sound effects. It all sounded really
good.
I did notice one bad thing however. The ALSA driver is broken on my machine
now. :)
