Since Lubuntu is moving to QT, there is a mixer I like to use, which has 
the capability of manipulating a huge variety (all?) of the sound-card 
controls, including the "Synth" control of a Soundblaster Live 
sound-card (which always has to be raised from its default setting).

Please check out (and evaluate for inclusion in Lubuntu) the "qasmixer" 
package.  It also has some companion packages, "qasconfig" and 
"qashctl".  So far, I have been using only "qasmixer".
