Subject: [PATCH 2/8] Optimized alsa backend (requires amixer fix)

Amixer supports two modes for efficient alsa operation:
- sevents command to monitor outside changes.
- stdin mode to both set volume and get current volume
(with noop sset request like "sset Master 0+").

However amixer must be fixed to not ignore outside alsa events
(from other alsa volume control applications).
