NAME

       savemixer - Open Sound System program for saving and restoring mixer settings.

SYNOPSIS

       savemixer [-LVv] [-f <fname>]

DESCRIPTION

       The savemixer program saves mixer settings. It can also load saved mixer settings back into the mixer.

       Running	this  program  without	any parameters will save the current mixer settings into /var/lib/oss4/mixer.save or $OSSVARDIR/mixer.save
       file.  OSSVARDIR is decided by reading /etc/oss.conf, and defaults to /var/lib/oss4.

AUTOMATIC SAVE

       By default the soundoff command will automatically run savemixer to save the active mixer settings. See the manual page for soundoff(1)	if
       you like to turn this feature off.

OPTIONS

       -f<fname>
	      Use <fname> as setting file.

       -L     Loads saved mixer and device map information from mixer.save.

       -V     Version information.

       -v     Verbose output.

NAME

       ossdevlinks - Open Sound System legacy device management utility.

SYNOPSIS

       ossdevlinks [-vr]

DESCRIPTION

       The ossdevlinks utility creates and manages old style (legacy) device files for OSS audio, MIDI and mixer devices.

       In  previous versioms OSS used "flat" device numbering for the device files (for example /dev/dsp0 to /dev/dspN). OSS version 4.0 and later
       uses different naming scheme. The ossdevlinks utility is used to manage the legacy device names as symbolic links to the new style devices.

OPTIONS

       Normally ossdevlinks is used without command line arguments. However there are a few command line options.

       -f<name>
	      Write legacydev file to <fname>.

       -N     Do not actually modify device files

       -r     Reset the legacy device numbering (do not use).

       -v     Verbose output

       The -r option may invalidate audio device selections in the setup files of various applications. This  is  considered  highly  undesirable.
       Applications using wrong audio devices may cause serious security and privacy problems.	For this reason the -r option should never be used
       unless there are no other ways to recover from serious audio/sound related problems. After that users should review the audio  settings	of
       all the audio applications they are using.
