asmix(1) General Commands Manual asmix(1) NAME asmix - the AfterStep volume control knob SYNOPSIS asmix [-h] [-V] [-iconic] [-shape] [-withdrawn] [-geometry [+|-]x[+|-]y] [-channel channel-id] [-exe command] [-device mixer-device] [-name window-name] DESCRIPTION The asmix is a X11 application that acts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 man- ager 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. CONFIGURATION OPTIONS -h Prints a short description and usage message. -V Version control. Prints the version of the applet. -geometry [+|-]x[+|-]y Displays the window at the specified location on the screen. This works as standard X Windows geometry option. -iconic Starts the asmix application in the iconized mode. The icon has the same appearance with the main window. -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 -withdrawn Starts the asmix applet in the "withdrawn" mode.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, dig- ital1, digital2, digital3, phone-in, phone-out, video, radio, moni- tor. Note that not all systems support all channels. -exe <command> The applet will execute the specified command on a mouseclick with the middle mouse button in the 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 configura- tion directory will cause asmix to be a button on the Wharf (1) button bar under the afterstep (1) window manager.
