Description
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
AlsaMixer.app is a mixer utility for Linux systems with ALSA sound driver.
|
||
|
|
It is designed to be docked in Window Maker (and other wms). This utility has
|
||
|
|
three volume controllers that can be configured to handle any sound source,
|
||
|
|
he default sources are 'Master', 'PCM' and 'CD' volume. Sound sources can be
|
||
|
|
easily muted and there is also wheel mouse support.
|
||
|
|
The whole GUI and command parsing was taken from Mixer.app (see old doc
|
||
|
|
for URL's), only connection to ALSA driver was added.

Hints
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
Error led:
|
||
|
|
If the led on Mixer.app is red an error message has
|
||
|
|
been printed to stderr and something is not working
|
||
|
|
correctly. If the led is green everything is working ok.
|
||
|
|
(Error led doesn't work in AlsaMixer.app, TODO)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mute:
|
||
|
|
Right click on a volume controller to mute the sound
|
||
|
|
source. The button will then have a red led in one corner.
|
||
|
|
Right click again to restore the volume. If a muted sound
|
||
|
|
source is modified by another application Mixer.app will
|
||
|
|
automaticaly release its muted state.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Wheel mouse:
|
||
|
|
If you have a wheel mouse (where the wheel is configured as
|
||
|
|
Button4 and Button5) you can control the volume by just moving
|
||
|
|
the mouse over Mixer.app and roll the wheel up and down. Use
|
||
|
|
the command line option -w to specify which slider that should
|
||
|
|
react to the wheel movement.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Label:
|
||
|
|
If you run multiple instances of AlsaMixer.app you might want
|
||
|
|
to be able to tell them apart. This can easily be done
|
||
|
|
by setting a label to each one of them. By using the -l
|
||
|
|
option you can add a little text label at the bottom of
|
||
|
|
the mixer.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Save volume settings:
|
||
|
|
Use the option -S (and -f <file>) if you want the volume
|
||
|
|
settings to be saved when AlsaMixer.app exits, and then
|
||
|
|
-L to be loaded again when AlsaMixer.app is started the next time.
|
||
|
|
When not using -f the settings are saved in/loaded from
|
||
|
|
~/GNUstep/Defaults/AlsaMixer. Use the -f <file> option
|
||
|
|
if you want to use a different file.
|
||
|
|
(TODO: mute states aren't saved/loaded)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Configurable middle click:
|
||
|
|
By default, when you middle click anywhere inside application
|
||
|
|
window, app tries to load default mixer setting from default
|
||
|
|
or explicitly configured (-f) file. If file doesn't exist,
|
||
|
|
nothing happens.
|
||
|
|
You can also configure AlsaMixer.app to run command (i.e.
|
||
|
|
better mixer) on middle click by using -e <command> option.
