in fact a mute button is not really setting the amplification to 0, I
really need to mute the stereo channel by switching off the sound and
when I switch on the sound the level must stay at the value it has
before the switch off. That's why chmute is exactly what I need.

yes of course, but I have a patchbay setup in Qjackctrl so no problem
about this.

hey good idea, i never suspect that we could play with values like this
in ecasound :)
In fact, my button is programmed to toggle to 0 and 127, but as I said
below, I really nedd something that doesn't touch to the amplification
value.

My .ecs is far far more complex than the example I paste in this thread,
when I'm back to home I will send it to you.
