Josh,

amixer: Unable to find simple control 'Input Gain',0

Is this not the same as using the GUI, or alsamixer (which has a 
DOS-style GUI within the terminal) to crank up the volume? Or am I 
confusing volume and gain?

Oh, I barely notice that. It seems to only happen when there are enough 
definitions that the popup window runs out of room at the bottom of the 
screen, and gets pushed up. I actually had to try it now just to be sure 
what you were talking about. In any case, I move the mouse over, check 
the definition, and then move the mouse away quickly enough that I don't 
even think about it.
