In theory I was thinking the same; I even renamed alsactl to
alsactl.orig and created a shell wrapper /usr/sbin/alsactl which should
log the args and call alsactl.orig to do the work; nothing appeared in
my log file while doing a call....

1. How this is done exactly (in SHR) and by which piece of software?
2. The SHR GUI while calling (see http://www.unixarea.de/Screenshot-7.png)
   has some sliders for Volume and Mic; and to enable the Speaker or
   mute the Mic... how do they work? Do they change 'gsmhandset' file?

Thanks for your reply in any case!
