+Usage
+-----
+
+To see usage information for the dockapp, pass ``--help`` option from terminal
+emulator, like:
+
+.. code:: shell-session
+
+   user@linux ~ $ wmamixer --help
+
+which will output several lines of information and options:
+
+* ``-h`` or ``--help`` will display options and exit,
+* ``-v`` or ``--version`` will display version and exit,
+* ``-w`` will use *withdrawn state*, which will make wmamixer behave like a
+  Window Maker dockapp,
+* ``-s`` will make some part of the window transparent,
+* ``-a`` will make window a bit smaller. Instead of standard 64x64 pixels, it
+  will be 56x56 pixels, additionally with transparent background. This mode is
+  useful for placing it in AfterStep Wharf,
+* ``-l`` with a color as an argument will change led color (default bright
+  greenish),
+* ``-b`` with a color as an argument will change background for the led color
+  (default dark greenish). Colors can be specified using `X11 color names`_, or
+  by hexadecimal number in #RGB format, like:
+
+  .. code:: shell-session
+
+     user@linux ~ $ wmamixer -l red -b '#ffff00'  # red led on yellow background
+     user@linux ~ $ wmamixer -b darkslateblue  # Dark Slate Blue background
+
+* ``-d`` selects desired ALSA device. By default, first device is taken which
+  usually is `default` and nowadays is taken by pulseaudio. To list ALSA
+  devices you might use ``aplay`` program from ``alsa-utils`` package:
+
+  .. code:: shell-session
+
+     user@linux ~ $ aplay -l
+     **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
+     card 0: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
+       Subdevices: 1/1
+       Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
+     card 0: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI], device 7: HDMI 1 [HDMI 1]
+       Subdevices: 1/1
+       Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
+     card 0: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI], device 8: HDMI 2 [HDMI 2]
+       Subdevices: 1/1
+       Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
+     card 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: 92HD91BXX Analog [92HD91BXX Analog]
+       Subdevices: 0/1
+       Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
+
+  So in above example there are two sound devices, which one is HDMI and the
+  other PCH. To select PCH device, it is enough to invoke ``wmamixer`` like:
+
+  .. code:: shell-session
+
+     user@linux ~ $ wmamixer -d hw:1
+
+  where ``hw:1`` means the second card (you can see it within the line ``card
+  1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: 92HD91BXX Analog [92HD91BXX Analog]`` on
+  ``aplay -l`` output in the example above),
+* ``-position`` with appropriate argument (usually ``+0+0`` for top-left
+  corner) will try to convince window manager to place application in certain
+  position,
+* ``-display`` with correct *X11 display* will try to use specified display
+  instead of current one (usually ``:0``).
+
+User interface is straightforward.

+1. Volume level indicator of currently selected mixer.
+2. Icon for currently selected mixer. If clicked, will show abbreviated mixer
+   name for a short time on volume level indicator.
+3. Cycles through available mixers.
+4. Volume bar. Clicking on the volume bar between the left and right channels
+   will set same volume level for both of them. Mouse scroll will adjust
+   volume for both channels at the same time.
+5. If clicked on left or right bar, volume will be adjusted for selected mixer
+   left or right channel accordingly. Note, that not all mixers have ability to
+   adjust volume for each channels separately. Mouse scroll will adjust volume
+   for both channels as in point 4.
