wmamixer
|
||||
--------
|
||||
========
|
||||
|
||||
wmamixer is an alsa mixer for windowmaker based on wmsmixer.
|
||||
Wmamixer is a fork of wmsmixer and is an ALSA mixer dockapp for Window Maker.
|
||||
|
||||
The code for the ALSA part was taken and adapted from amixer and alsamixer
|
||||
programs from alsa-utils package.

Changes
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
Changes with comparison with wmsmixer:
|
||||
|
||||
- ALSA instead of OSS. This is real thing, using alsa-lib, not just emulation
|
||||
of OSS.
|
||||
- Placement of configuration file changed to "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/wmamixer.conf",
|
||||
which usually translate to "$HOME/.config/wmamixer.conf"
|
||||
|
||||
Limitations
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
1. Currently, wmamixer does not support switches and enum type of controls.
|
||||
Only volume is supported. Enum and switch based ALSA controls are simply
|
||||
ignored.
|
||||
|
||||
2. There are controls with really small limit range, for example here is
|
||||
control Beep (pc speaker in other words) which is represented by amixer like
|
||||
this:
|
||||
|
||||
Simple mixer control 'Beep',0
|
||||
Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined pswitch pswitch-joined
|
||||
Playback channels: Mono
|
||||
Limits: Playback 0 - 3
|
||||
Mono: Playback 1 [33%] [-12.00dB] [on]
|
||||
|
||||
Under "Limits" section, there is a Playback capability with range 0 - 3. Using
|
||||
scrollwheel on such low ranges is somehow awkward. For that controls it's
|
||||
better to use clicking instead of scrolling.
