It does not the right level controls
The Main volume is on the Surround volume.
Second in a gambas player it is nicer to have it build in.
Or you can make a more professional mixer.
Kmix sucks simple with the layout for input and output channels
It should be play and recording levels.
Now I must use the surround on the output and pcm on the input.
kamix is much better to use.

Maybe not good enough. mainly used the explain in the example
and the way the net component was added

I will try next time.

Stupid me lost the whole made source for gb.mixer
Creating the mixer and a level slider to start with was working 
with hard coded ID for the channel.
 
Only by deleting the old gambas-0.91 directory I forgot to save the added 
component and text files how I did the add into gambas.
very sad now :=(
