This isn't a problem at all per se.  It's a personal preference.  It
might be nice to have the mixer device selectable.  In that case, file a
bug with the GNOME people to see if they can add a configuration knob
for it.  In the meantime, you can edit your source code locally to use
/dev/mixer0.

If you want to design the config option, send me the patches, and I'll
add them to our tree while you're waiting for the GNOME people to commit
them.
