OSS switches mixer controls randomly

I made a binding for xbindkeys to control the output volume:
"ossmix misc.front1 -- +0.9"
mod4 + Up
"ossmix misc.front1 -- -0.9"
mod4 + Down
When i'm holding the keys i'm noticing OSS suddenly setting other mixer options to random values (checked with ossxmix). Is it a bug? What can i do about it?

Do you have Ubuntu 10.10?

What happens if you use vmix0-outvol instead of misc1.front? (Maybe giving commands too quickly to the driver causes this? Possibly a bug...)

You may try 1 instead of 0.9
Code: Select all
$ man ossmix
ossmix vol +2
Raise vol volume by 2.
ossmix -- vol +2:-2
Raise the left channel volume by 2, and lower right channel vol‐
ume by 2. The "--" is needed on some systems so that the "-2"
won't be mistaken for a parameter.It works well:
Code: Select all
$ ossmix vol +2
Value of mixer control vol set to 95.0:95.0
$ ossmix vol +2
Value of mixer control vol set to 97.0:97.0

Gentoo here.

Thanks, that fixed the problem. But i'd prefer to use the soundcard volume control because vmix outvol applies to the volume of the output recording too.

No luck.
