1 .TH wmix 1x "2.2" "Fredrik Steen"
3 wmix \- Dockapp mixer for OSS or ALSA
13 Docked application to control audio mixer for OSS or ALSA.
14 Allows toggling record source,
15 muting individual channels, adjusting volume and balance, all in a
16 compact dockapp size, with TV\-like on\-screen\-display for volume levels.
18 Supports mouse wheel to adjust current channel's volume
19 and can be controlled remotely with unix signals
21 to raise/lower the volume.
22 Keeps a simple configuration file for user\-defined settings.

46 .SH CONFIGURATION FILE
47 If readable, the file \fI~/.wmixrc\fP (or the file specified through \fB\-f\fR option)
49 It may contains one configuration command per line:
51 mousewheel=<\fI0\fP|\fI1\fP>
52 when set to \fI0\fP, disable the volume control through mouse wheel (default=\fI1\fP)
55 when set to \fI0\fP, disable display of the volume in an OSD like fashion (default=\fI1\fP)
57 osdcolor=<\fIcolor\fP>
58 specify the color to use for OSD volume display.
59 It can be the name of a color (see \fI/usr/share/X11/rgb.txt\fP)
60 or an RGB specification (as \fBrgb:\fP<\fIred\fP>/<\fIgreen\fP>/<\fIblue\fP>
61 with hexadecimal numbers) as expected by X11 (default=\fIgreen\fP)
63 scrolltext=<\fI0\fP|\fI1\fP>
64 when set to \fI0\fP, disable text scrolling to display the name of current selected
65 channel, use static short name instead (default=\fI1\fP)
67 wheelbtn1=<\fIbutton\fP>
69 wheelbtn2=<\fIbutton\fP>
70 defines the buttons events associated in X11 to the mouse wheel,
71 with \fIbtn1\fP for up and \fIbtn2\fP for down
72 (default: btn1=\fI4\fP and btn2=\fI5\fP)
74 wheelstep=<\fIpercentage\fP>
75 sets the volume change step when using the mouse wheel,
76 specified as a percentage of the total volume range (i.e.: 1\~<\~\fIvalue\fP\~<\~100,
79 For compatibility, values between 0.0 and 1.0 will be considered as a raw percentage

98 More information on the user interface
101 The \fImute\fP functionality is implemented by setting the volume to 0
102 and remembering the previous volume to restore it when unmuting.
103 While this is perfectly ok, you may encounter strange looking behavior
104 if you have other application controlling the volume, and possibly
105 implementing mute in similar ways, because there is no way to know
106 that a channel has been muted.
108 If you modify the configuration file, do not expect \fBwmix\fP to reload
109 it automatically, this is considered a too costly feature for such a
