For ALSA, a potential candidate GUI mixer is "gamix".
For PulseAudio, maybe we can use "pama".
Both are written in pure C language IIRC.
Please evaluate them if possible.
They are not the best ones, but at least they will be better then "xterm -e
alsamixer".
Other ones I can find are written in python or some other scripting stuff.
