NAME
     nmixer - An interactive text-based sound-mixer control program

SYNOPSIS
     nmixer [-q] [[-s mixdev=setting] ...]
	    nasmixer [-q] [[-s mixdev=setting] ...]

DESCRIPTION
     NMixer  is  an  interactive text-based sound-mixer control program that you
     can use to set the volume of each supported mixer device of your soundcard.
     It automagically detects all devices that are supported by your sound hard-
     ware, and shows a list of scrollbars for each of these devices.

     You can use the up and down arrow keys (or k and j resp.) to scroll  though
     the  list	of  scrollbars (some do not fit on the screen, but you can reach
     them by simply scrolling down at the bottom of the screen).  The  left  and
     right  arrow  keys  (or  h and l resp.) change the volume for the currently
     highlighted device, and (if you're lucky), you can  use  home/end/PgUp/PgDn
     on  the  numerical keyboard to set left and right volume independently. You
     can also use 0..5 to set the volume to the position indicated by  the  num-
     bers on top of the screen.

     If  a device can be recorded from, red brackets will be displayed under the
     device's name. If it's selected as recording source, a red 'X' is displayed
     as well. You can set a recording device with the space bar.

     If nmixer is compiled with NAS (Network  Audio  System)  support  and  it's
     called as 'nasmixer', it will show the settings for the NAS mixer device.

OPTIONS
     -d device
	    Setst  the mixer device to use (default = /dev/mixer) -s mixdev=set-
	    ting Sets a specific mixer device to the volume  specified	by  set-
	    ting.  Example: bass=100

     -q     Immediately  quit  (after  the  command-line  specified settings are
	    set!). This only makes sense if you use command-line options to  set
	    volumes. (currently, the interface is drawn while setting the mixer,
	    and removed afterwards, which might be annoying, but it's in the way
	    of being changed :)

     If you find bugs, please report them on the sourceforge project site.
