.SH CHANNEL NAMES
The names for the different channels are provided by ALSA/OSS as short names, for which
.B wmix
provides a long name match for readability.
The default behavior is to scroll the long name of the current channel
in the text line of the dockapp, but if you disable the scroll text
then the short name will be displayed instead.
.LP
If you want to exclude a channel from the list of channels controlled by
the dockapp you have to use the short name.
You can get the list of all the channels available in your sound card with
.B wmix -v
and the short name will be between parentheses, here is an example:
.LP
.EX
Supported channels:
1: Master volume (Vol )
2: PC Speaker (Spkr )
3: PCM Wave 2 volume (Pcm2 )
4: Input gain (IGain)
5: Phone output (PhoneOut)
