NAME

       asmix - the AfterStep volume control knob

SYNOPSIS

       asmix [-h] [-V]
               [-iconic] [-shape] [-withdrawn]
               [-geometry [+|-]x[+|-]y]
               [-channel channel-id]
               [-exe command]
               [-device mixer-device]
               [-name window-name]

DESCRIPTION

       The  asmix  is a X11 application that acts as a volume control knob for
       the /dev/mixer device.  The applet  provides  a  distinctive  AfterStep
       window manager look.

       The  best  thing about this applet is that you do not have to learn how
       to use it. If you used any volume  knobs  before  -  you  know  how  to
       operate  this one. If you never came across such a thing then just grab
       the knob with the left button of  your  mouse  and  turn  it  into  the
       position you like.

              Starts  the  asmix applet in the "withdrawn" mode.  Necessary to
              be able to dock it to the Window Maker’s dock.

       -channel <channel-id>
              Specifies  the  channel  to  control  (default:  volume).    The
              possible  channels  include:  volume,  pcm, bass, treble, synth,
              speaker, line, mic, cd, imix, pcm2, record, igain, ogain, line1,
              line2, line3, digital1, digital2, digital3, phone-in, phone-out,
              video, radio, monitor.  Note that not all  systems  support  all
              channels.

       -exe <command>
              The  applet  will  execute the specified command on a mouseclick
              with the middle mouse button in the window.

       -device <mixer-device>
              The applet will attempt to  opern  the  specified  mixer  device
              instead of the standard /dev/mixer.

       -name <window-name>
              The  applet  will  set  the  name of the window to the specified
              window-name instead of the standard "asmix". This is useful when
              swallowing multiple instances of asmix into the AfterStep Wharf.

INVOCATION

       asmix was written to be swallowed by the AfterStep wharf module, but it
       can  be  used  with  everything  else  too.  A common invocation is the
       command line:

            user@host[1]% asmix &

       Another way to call asmix is from the AfterStep Wharf:

            *Wharf asmix nil Swallow "asmix" asmix -shape &

       This line, when placed  in  the  wharf  file  in  the  users  Afterstep
       configuration  directory  will  cause asmix to be a button on the Wharf
       (1) button bar under the afterstep (1) window manager.

BUGS

       None that I am aware of.
