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-withdrawn
Starts the asmix applet in the "withdrawn" mode.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