Changes
Changes with comparison with wmsmixer:
ALSA instead of OSS. This is the real thing, using alsa-lib, not just emulation of OSS.
Removed config file support, since it doesn't apply anymore
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.
