[Tutor] A volume control (:

[Larry]

Well, I have been working on this and got this far but I think I screwed up
Because I can't figure out how to set the initial volume on the slider instead of
it going back to 0 (zero) everytime I start it.  I wanted to use:

Current_vol = mixer.get(ossaudiodev.SOUND_MIXER_VOLUME)

To get the current volume of the mixer. But I didn't consider this until 
I got this far and I don't think my slider code is going to allow an initial setting
of the slider. Or is it?  Arg...

Any hints or tips or pointers? 
Thanks

I gotta go to bed, it's 12:45 in the morning and I gotta get up and go to
work in 5 hours.   (:
Maybe things will be clearer in the A.M.       or not!   (:

Also thanks to everyone who has helped so far. 

Larry
