NAME

       auctl - control various audio server parameters

SYNOPSYS

       auctl [-audio servername] [-q] [command...]

DESCRIPTION

       The  auctl  program can be used to control various audio server parameters.  It is typically used when connecting up new devices, or to set
       user preferences.  If no command is specified on the program command line, auctl reads commands from the standard output.  If the  standard
       input and standard output are both attached to a terminal, an interactive prompt is provided.

OPTIONS

       The following options may be used with auctl:

       -audio servername
	       This option specifies the Network Audio System server on which the files should be played.

       -q      This option indicates that no prompt should be given when reading commands from the standard input.

COMMANDS

       The following commands may be used with auctl:

       help    This command prints a list of the commands that may be given.

       set device id gain [=,+,-] percent
	       With  =,  this command sets the gain on the device specified by id to the indicated percentage, or alters it by the given number of
	       percentage points if + or - is used.  If the id is a decimal number n, the nth device returned by the server (see auinfo) is  used.
	       Otherwise, id should be a hexidecimal number specifying the resource identifier of the desired device.

       set device id linemode = low
	       This command sets the linemode of the device specified by id to the lower setting appropriate for microphones.

       set device id linemode = hi
	       This command sets the linemode of the device specified by id to the higher setting appropriate for CD players.

       list device id gain
	       This command lists the gain of the specified device in the form needed to set it.

       list device id linemode
	       This command lists the line mode of the specified device in the form needed to set it.

       list device id
	       This command lists the gain and line mode of the specified device.

       quit, exit, or ^D
	       Either of these commands or an end of file causes the program to exit.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       The following environment variables are used by auctl:

       AUDIOSERVER
	       This specifies the name of default audio server to contact if no name is explicitly given on the command line.

       DISPLAY This  specifies	the  name  of  an X Window System display that should be assumed to also have a corresponding Network Audio System
	       server.

NAME

       aupanel - allows user adjustment of Network Audio System device attributes

SYNOPSIS

       aupanel [-audio servername] [-device id] [-interval seconds]

DESCRIPTION

       aupanel	provides  an  X-based  window-oriented interface allowing the user to adjust the attributes of the devices provided by the Network
       Audio System service.

OPTIONS

       The following options may be used with aupanel:

       -audio servername
	       This option specifies the Network Audio System server to contact.

       -device id
	       This option specifies the initially activated audio device on the server.  If the id is a decimal number n, the nth device returned
	       by  the	server	is  used.  If  it  is a hexadecimal number (starting with 0x) it is used as the resource identifier of the desired
	       device. Otherwise, id should be the exact device name (e.g. Stereo Channel Output).  You can use auinfo to query an audioserver for
	       this information.

       -interval seconds
	       aupanel queries the device attributes in regular intervals with a default length of 10 seconds. With this option a different inter-
	       val length can be specified. Using an interval length of 0 disables the automatic querying.

       Additionally, options from the Athena Widget Set can be used.

AUPANEL AND THE ATHENA WIDGET SET

       aupanel uses the X Toolkit Intrinsics and the Athena Widget Set.  For more information, see the Athena Widget Set documentation.

ADJUSTING DEVICE ATTRIBUTES

       To adjust the attributes of a device, select the desired device from the Devices menu.  The device gain may  be	adjusted  using  the  Gain
       slider.	 If applicable, the device input mode can be toggled between Line-In and Microphone by clicking on the appropriate box.  If appli-
       cable, the device output mode can be selected by clicking on the Speaker, Headphone, and Line-Out boxes.  Some output devices  may  support
       combinations of these selections.

       To query the current device attributes, click on the Query button.

       To mute (resp. unmute) the current device, click on the Mute button.

ENVIRONMENT

       In addition to the standard toolkit environment variables, the following environment variables are used by aupanel:

       AUDIOSERVER
	       This  variable  specifies  the default audio server to contact if -audio is not specified on the command line.  If this variable is
	       not set and the -audio is not specified on the command line, aupanel will attempt to connect to the audio server running on  the  X
	       Window System display.
