NAME
wmmixer - A mixer application designed for WindowMaker
DESCRIPTION
wmmixer is a mixer application designed for WindowMaker, although there
is nothing in the program that makes it require WindowMaker, except
maybe the NeXTStep look and the fact that it properly docks. It can be
used with other window managers without problems.
SYNOPSIS
wmmixer [options]
OPTIONS
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
options starting with two dashes (’--’). A summary of options is
included below.
-d, --display <string>
Attempt to open a window on the named X display. In the absence
of this option the display specified by the DISPLAY
environment variable is used.
-g, --geometry <string>
geometry to use, e.g. +100+100 to place it at 100/100
-h, --help
show help text and exit.
-v, --version
show program version and exit.
-w, --withdrawn
run the application in withdrawn mode. This is for use with
WindowMaker or other window managers supporting docks (e.g. KDE)
-a, --afterstep
use smaller window (for AfterStep Wharf)
-s, --shaped
shaped window
-l, --led-color <string>
use the specified color for led, e.g. red, green, blue (default:
green)
-L, --led-highcolor <string>
use the specified color for led-shading, e.g. red, green, blue
(default: red)
-b, --back-color <string>
use the specified color for backgrounds, e.g. red, green, blue
-m, --mix-device <string>
use specified device (rather than /dev/mixer)
-r, --scrollwheel <number>
Set the volume increase/decrease when using the mouse wheel
(default: 2)
For backward compatibility the following obsolete options are still
supported:
-help show help text and exit.
-display
attempt to open a window on the named X display
-position
geometry to use, e.g. +100+100 to place it at 100/100
USAGE
All available channels on your soundcard’s mixer are accessible with
wmmixer. Most common channels are identified with an appropriate icon.
Controls include a stereo (mono where appropriate) volume control and a
recording source toggle button.
Press the "<" and ">" arrow buttons to select a channel. The icon
identifies the current channel (a volume symbol with a question mark
represents an unrecognised channel). Click and/or drag the volume
display to set channel volume. There is a also a button to set
recording sources.
CONFIGURATION
Users can configure wmmixer to suit their requirements by means of a
~/.wmmixer file. A commented example can be found in
/usr/share/doc/wmmixer on Debian systems, and would be a good starting
point
