       vumeter - visual audio-level meter

SYNOPSIS

       vumeter [-r] [-s=ESD-server-host] [-v] [-x=x-position] [-y=y-position] [gnome-std-options]

DESCRIPTION

       vumeter provides a visual indication of the audio level of the audio device when esd, the enlightened sound daemon, is running.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -r	       Act as a recording-level meter instead of an output-level meter.

       -s=ESD-server-hoConnect	to the esd server on the host named ESD-server-host, and monitor the running esd daemon. If ESD-server-host is not
		       specified, the default value is the local host.

       -v	       Display the meter in a vertical orientation. The meter is displayed horizontally by default.

       -x=x-position   Create initial window with given horizontal offset, measured in pixels, from the left of the  display.  x-position  is  the
		       number of pixels by which to offset the window.

       -y=y-position   Create initial window with given vertical offset, measured in pixels, from the top of the display. y-position is the number
		       of pixels by which to offset the window.
