NAME

       asmix - the AfterStep volume control knob

SYNOPSIS

       asmix [-h] [-V]
               [-iconic] [-shape] [-withdrawn]
               [-geometry [+|-]x[+|-]y]
               [-channel channel-id]
               [-exe command]
               [-device mixer-device]
               [-name window-name]

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 operate 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.

       -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       -withdrawn
              Starts the asmix applet in the "withdrawn" mode.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 possible 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.

              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 window-name instead of the standard
              "asmix". This is useful when swallowing multiple instances of asmix into the AfterStep Wharf.

INVOCATION

       asmix was written to be swallowed by the AfterStep wharf module, but it can be used with everything  else
       too.  A common invocation is the command 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 configuration directory will cause asmix
       to be a button on the Wharf (1) button bar under the afterstep (1) window manager.

BUGS

       None that I am aware of.
