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asmix [-h] [-V] [-iconic] [-shape] [-withdrawn] [-geometry [+|-]x[+|-]y] [-channel channel-id] [-exe command] [-device mixer-device] [-name window-name] DESCRIPTION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. CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
-h Prints a short description and usage message. -V Version control. Prints the version of the applet. -geometry [+|-]x[+|-]y Displays the window at the specified location on the screen. This works as standard X Windows geometry option. -iconic Starts the asmix application in the iconized mode. The icon has the same appearance with the main window. -shape Starts the asmix application without groundplate. -withdrawn Starts the asmix applet in the "withdrawn" mode.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 swal- lowing 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.

This is an audio mixer for Linux. You have the choice to use it with an interface or at the command line. OPTIONS
When using the interface you can use the following keys : LEFT ARROW decrease the volume of the current device. RIGHT ARROW increase the volume of the current device. UP ARROW go to previous device. DOWN ARROW go to next device. L locks or unlocks : unlocked : you can control the left and right channel separately. lock : left and right channel are controlled together. R turn on/off recording mode : red lamp : recording turned on green lamp : recording turned off 3 turn on/off 3D Stereo Enhancement (3DSE) device : when turned on green indicator 3D will be lit at the left side of main volume handle. A turn on/off microphone Automatic Gain Control : when turned on green indicator AGC will be lit at the left side of microphone volume handle. S save the settings of ALL devices in a file ($HOME/.camrc) G loads the saved settings and restores them. H shows the help screen. Q/ESC exits the program and returns to shell. NOTE: you can use upper or lower case. When using the command line options the interface is not shown.
