Speech-friendly alsa mixer (sam) released, another update

[Willem van der Walt]

Hi Janina and all,
I just did another update.
What happened is that when there is more than one card, the 
mixers/controls of the second /20th card would be correctly listed, but 
when grabbing its details, the program got the control by the same name 
from the default soundcard.
This last update hopefully resolvs that issue.
If you missed this Janina, the program's latest version now works on both 
python2 and 3, 3 being the default on arch.
You should therefore just need to install the latest version of 
pyalsaaudio for python3 on arch.
When installing through pip, as suggested in the readme, replace pip with 
pip3 to get the python module for python3 installed.
All testers should download again as I fixed the multiple card issue just 
before writing this email.
wget http://www.sanote.co.za/downloads/sam-latest.tar.bz2
is possibly the most painless.  Just keep in mind that wget will add a dot 
one at the end of the file if it already exists, so first delete it.
I got hold of a USB soundcard now, so can now test as I go along.
Kind regards, Willem
