Description
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
Mixer.app is a mixer utility for Linux/FreeBSD/OpenBSD systems.
|
||
|
|
It is designed to be docked in Window Maker. This utility has
|
||
|
|
three volume controllers that can be configured to handle any
|
||
|
|
sound source, the default sources are master-, cd- and pcm-volume.
|
||
|
|
Sound sources can easily be muted and there is also wheel mouse
|
||
|
|
support.

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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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 Mixer.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 or -S <file> if you want the volume
|
||
|
|
settings to be saved when Mixer.app exits, and then
|
||
|
|
loaded again when Mixer.app is started the next time.
|
||
|
|
When using -s the settings are saved in/loaded from
|
||
|
|
~/GNUstep/Defaults/Mixer. Use the -S <file> option
|
||
|
|
if you want to use a different file.
