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	       [-iconic] [-shape] [-withdrawn]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.

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       -withdrawn
	      Starts the asmix applet in the "withdrawn" mode.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.

BUGS

       None that I am aware of.
