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 oper‐
ate 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-withdrawn
Starts the asmix applet in the "withdrawn" mode.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 possi‐
ble 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 win‐
dow-name instead of the standard "asmix". This is useful when
swallowing multiple instances of asmix into the AfterStep Wharf.
INVOCATIONasmix was written to be swallowed by the AfterStep wharf module, but it
can be used with everything else too. A common invocation is the com‐
mand 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 config‐
uration directory will cause asmix to be a button on the Wharf (1) but‐
ton bar under the afterstep (1) window manager.
