45 Users can configure wmmixer to suit their requirements by means of a ~/.wmmixer
46 file. A commented example is supplied, and would be a good starting point.
48 cp home.wmmixer ~/.wmmixer
54 You can access all the channels on your soundcard's mixer with wmmixer. Most
55 common channels are identified with an appropriate icon.
56 Controls include a stereo (mono where appropriate) volume control and a recording
59 Press the "<" and ">" arrow buttons to select a channel.
60 The icon identifies the current channel (a volume symbol with a question mark
61 represents an unrecognised channel).
62 Click and/or drag the volume display to set channel volume.
63 There is a also a button to set recording sources.

70 This release includes in a new command line option.
71 The effect this has is to enable shape support (it implies "-s"), and
72 to reduce the size of the window to 56x56 pixels.
73 The "-position position" option has also been added, so you can push
74 wmcdplay off the edge of the screen while it gets swallowed.
75 To put wmmount in your Wharf, add the following line in the appropriate
78 *Wharf wmmount nil MaxSwallow "wmmount" wmmount -a -position -0-0 &
80 It is also possible (by editing and recompiling the afterstep sources),
81 to make Wharf handle the new 56x56 pixel window properly - yes, I add
82 an option to use a 56x56 pixel window, even though the AfterStep Wharf
83 really wants 55x57 pixel ones.
85 I am told (by tygris@erols.com):
87 "Locate Wharf.c (or is it Wharf.cc?) Should be in
88 AfterStep-1.0/modules/Wharf. Locate this:
90 if (Buttons[button].maxsize) {
91 Buttons[button].icons[0].w = 55;
92 Buttons[button].icons[0].h = 57;
95 and change the 55 and 57 to 56's. Save and compile."
101 You may have trouble linking wmmixer with the compiler supplied on some
102 recent Linux distributions (eg. Debian 2.0 & RedHat 5.1).
103 It can be made to build by adding the following line to the top of the
104 Imakefile, before executing xmkmf:
108 I am not sure of the effect this has on memory usage, etc.
