NAME

       wmmixer - A mixer application designed for WindowMaker

DESCRIPTION

       wmmixer  is  a  mixer application designed for WindowMaker, although there is nothing in the program that
       makes it require WindowMaker, except maybe the NeXTStep look and the fact that it properly docks. It  can
       be used with other window managers without problems.

SYNOPSIS

       wmmixer [options]

OPTIONS

       This  program  follows  the  usual  GNU  command  line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes
       ('--'). A summary of options is included below.

       -d, --display <string>
              Attempt to open a window on the named X display. In the  absence  of   this  option  the   display
              specified  by the DISPLAY environment variable is used.

       -g, --geometry <string>
              geometry to use, e.g. +100+100 to place it at 100/100

       -h, --help
              show help text and exit.

       -v, --version
              show program version and exit.

       -w, --withdrawn
              run  the  application in withdrawn mode. This is for use with WindowMaker or other window managers
              supporting docks (e.g. KDE)

       -a, --afterstep
              use smaller window (for AfterStep Wharf)

       -s, --shaped
              shaped window

       -l, --led-color <string>
              use the specified color for led, e.g. red, green, blue (default: green)

       -L, --led-highcolor <string>
              use the specified color for led-shading, e.g. red, green, blue (default: red)

       -b, --back-color <string>
              use the specified color for backgrounds, e.g. red, green, blue

       -m, --mix-device <string>
              use specified device (rather than /dev/mixer)

       -r, --scrollwheel <number>
              Set the volume increase/decrease when using the mouse wheel (default: 2)

       For backward compatibility the following obsolete options are still supported:

       -help  show help text and exit.

       -display
              attempt to open a window on the named X display

       -position
              geometry to use, e.g. +100+100 to place it at 100/100

USAGE

       All available channels on your soundcard's mixer are accessible 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.

CONFIGURATION

       Users can configure wmmixer to suit their requirements by means of a ~/.wmmixer file. A commented example
       can be found in /usr/share/doc/wmmixer on Debian systems, and would be a good starting point
