You're supposed to use
cvs -z3 diff -u -r HEAD mixer.c

otherwise CVS compares with your revision, which is always up to date (cause 
you're comparing it with itself...), unless you modify manually.

also,
cvs -z3  update -C
is slightly better, assuming you didn't make any valuable changes.. (it 
overrides your modified files, otherwise they are kept even if there is a new 
version)

I'm just gonna throw in my 2 cents here and I think ~60 is a good default 
value...
Volume is not only made to correct downward, but also upward... If a movie is 
too low volume, I'd like the ability to turn it up... and down if its too 
high...
Of course for those which it really annoys them can just add a line in their 
config file and never worry about it. :)
