Volume.app -- a simple windowmaker volume control dockapp
==========================================================================
This is a simple volume control for the AfterStep / BlackBox / Window
Maker dock. Volume.app is intended to be an extremely simple, efficient, and
attractive interface to a system's sound mixer.
Currently, only OSS mixer interface is supported. ALSA mixer can be used through
ALSA's OSS emulation.
==========================================================================
NOTE: The hacks/mods are for "ALSA's OSS emulation" in ALSA systems.
NOTE2: There are two 'mod' files: "config.h.in.mod" and "volume.app.c.mod".
If you want to use them, simple rename them to each "original filename"
(remove ".mod" on filename).
"volume.app.c.mod" is a hack to fix the mute/unmute problem
for ALSA systems. (It uses "amixer" command as background).
"config.h.in.mod" is just a covenience to set some parameters.
eg: If is notified that the app is not running on the right mixer
(more than 1 soundcard), you may try to set the default mixer
before creating the package!
'cat /proc/asound/oss/sndstat' and search the "Mixers" section.
locate the desired 'mixer number' and then modify file
"config.h.in.mod" at "DEFAULT_MIXER_DEVICE" parameter.
Eg2: if desired mixer is "2", modify "config.h.in.mod" as below:
DEFAULT_MIXER_DEVICE "/dev/mixer"
( to )
DEFAULT_MIXER_DEVICE "/dev/mixer2"
Again, do not forget to rename the file "config.h.in.mod" to
"config.h.in" before creating the package.
