asmix - the AfterStep volume control knob

asmix [-h] [-V] [-iconic] [-shape] [-withdrawn] [-geometry [+|-]x[+|-]y] [-exe command]

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.

-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-withdrawn

Starts the asmix applet in the "withdrawn" mode.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

-exe <command>

The applet will execute the specified command on a mouseclick with the middle mouse button in the window.

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.

None that I am aware of.
