INSTALLING:
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
xmkmf
|
|
make
|
|
strip wmmixer
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
CONFIGURATION:
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
Users can configure wmmixer to suit their requirements by means of a ~/.wmmixer
|
|
file. A commented example is supplied, and would be a good starting point.
|
|
|
|
cp home.wmmixer ~/.wmmixer
|
|
|
|
|
|
USAGE:
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
You can access all the channels on your soundcard's mixer with wmmixer. Most
|
|
common channels are identified with an appropriate icon.
|
|
Controls include a stereo (mono where appropriate) volume control and a recording
|
|
source toggle button.
|
|
|
|
Press the "<" and ">" arrow buttons to select a channel.
|
|
The icon identifies the current channel (a volume symbol with a question mark
|
|
represents an unrecognised channel).
|
|
Click and/or drag the volume display to set channel volume.
|
|
There is a also a button to set recording sources.
|
|
|
|
|
|
AFTERSTEP USERS:
|
|
================
|
|
(thanks to tygris@erols.com)
|
|
|
|
This release includes in a new command line option.
|
|
The effect this has is to enable shape support (it implies "-s"), and
|
|
to reduce the size of the window to 56x56 pixels.
|
|
The "-position position" option has also been added, so you can push
|
|
wmcdplay off the edge of the screen while it gets swallowed.
|
|
To put wmmount in your Wharf, add the following line in the appropriate
|
|
part of your .steprc
|
|
|
|
*Wharf wmmount nil MaxSwallow "wmmount" wmmount -a -position -0-0 &
|
|
|
|
It is also possible (by editing and recompiling the afterstep sources),
|
|
to make Wharf handle the new 56x56 pixel window properly - yes, I add
|
|
an option to use a 56x56 pixel window, even though the AfterStep Wharf
|
|
really wants 55x57 pixel ones.
|
|
|
|
I am told (by tygris@erols.com):
|
|
|
|
"Locate Wharf.c (or is it Wharf.cc?) Should be in
|
|
AfterStep-1.0/modules/Wharf. Locate this:
|
|
|
|
if (Buttons[button].maxsize) {
|
|
Buttons[button].icons[0].w = 55;
|
|
Buttons[button].icons[0].h = 57;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
and change the 55 and 57 to 56's. Save and compile."
|
|
|
|
|
|
BUILD PROBLEMS:
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
You may have trouble linking wmmixer with the compiler supplied on some
|
|
recent Linux distributions (eg. Debian 2.0 & RedHat 5.1).
|
|
It can be made to build by adding the following line to the top of the
|
|
Imakefile, before executing xmkmf:
|
|
|
|
CC = c++
|
|
|
|
I am not sure of the effect this has on memory usage, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
