9Description
10--------------------------------------------------------------
11Mixer.app is a mixer utility for Linux/FreeBSD/OpenBSD systems.
12It is designed to be docked in Window Maker. This utility has
13three volume controllers that can be configured to handle any
14sound source, the default sources are master-, cd- and pcm-volume.
15Sound sources can easily be muted and there is also wheel mouse
16support.

19Hints
20--------------------------------------------------------------
21Error led:
22 If the led on Mixer.app is red an error message has
23 been printed to stderr and something is not working
24 correctly. If the led is green everything is working ok.
25
26Mute:
27 Right click on a volume controller to mute the sound
28 source. The button will then have a red led in one corner.
29 Right click again to restore the volume. If a muted sound
30 source is modified by another application Mixer.app will
31 automaticaly release its muted state.
32
33Wheel mouse:
34 If you have a wheel mouse (where the wheel is configured as
35 Button4 and Button5) you can control the volume by just moving
36 the mouse over Mixer.app and roll the wheel up and down. Use
37 the command line option -w to specify which slider that should
38 react to the wheel movement.
39
40Label:
41 If you run multiple instances of Mixer.app you might want
42 to be able to tell them apart. This can easily be done
43 by setting a label to each one of them. By using the -l
44 option you can add a little text label at the bottom of
45 the mixer.
46
47Save volume settings:
48 Use the option -s or -S <file> if you want the volume
49 settings to be saved when Mixer.app exits, and then
50 loaded again when Mixer.app is started the next time.
51 When using -s the settings are saved in/loaded from
52 ~/GNUstep/Defaults/Mixer. Use the -S <file> option
53 if you want to use a different file.
