4428	Mixer device does not accept spaces	Paul Lambert <paul at planar.id.au>	danielk	"The setting in the settings table labelled ""MixerControl"" does not accept spaces from the frontend.  My machine, by default, doesn't appear to have either a PCM mixer or a Master volume control.  All the useful controls in the alsa mixer (amixer) have spaces in their name.

When I update the database directly using the command: ""update settings set data = ""Analog Front"" where value = 'MixerControl' and host = 'myth';"" then I can control the volume via mythfrontend.

I took a look through the code to see if I could make a change. The setting is configured in the file programs/mythfrontend/globalsettings.cpp.  However, it is using a control entitled ""HostComboBox"", which from the look of things by default doesn't accept spaces.  A lot of different things also use HostComboBox, so probably modifying it to accept spaces would be a bad idea.  It wasn't clear whether there is already a solution to this for other areas that use HostComboBox, or whether this is a new need that hasn't previously arisen.

Any ideas?
