## DESCRIPTION

**asmixer** is a nice little application for controlling the volume of various sound outputs through three slider bars. It can be swallowed into Afterstep's Wharf for ease of use.

## OPTIONS

**-h -help --help**\
      SOS, 911, etc.

      standard format for where you want to exile **asmixer**

**-d *device***\
      the mixer device to harass

**-1 -2 -3 *control***\
      this binds a slider to a specific sound device:

     *VOLUME, BASS, TREBLE, SYNTH, PCM, SPEAKER, LINE,*\
      *MIC, CD, IMIX, ALPTPCM, RECLEV, IGAIN, OGAIN,*\
      *LINE1, LINE2, LINE3*

**-w**\
      *WindowMaker withdrawn window support.*

**-v** *volume*\
      *the volume (1-100) to set the first slider to*

## DEFAULTS

**-d** */dev/mixer* **-1** *VOLUME* **-2** *CD* **-3** *PCM* **-t** *asmixer*

## INVOCATION

**asmixer** *can be called from one of many ways.  The most common invocation* *is Afterstep's .steprc:*

```
   *Wharf "mixer" nil Swallow "asmixer" asmixer -g -1-1 &
```

*This line will cause asmixer to be swallowed into Wharf, which 9 out of 10* *dentists agree is cool. You will then be able to slide to your hearts content in* *perfect Wharf comfort!*

*Another way to call* **asmixer** *is from the command line:*

```
	[ximenes@leo]$ asmixer -d /dev/mixer -t asmixer -v 95 &
```

*This will pop up a little window with asmixer helplessly imprisoned inside.* *Don't worry, it likes it.*
