INSTALLING:
===========

xmkmf
make
strip wmmixer
make install
cp .wmmixer ~/.wmmixer      (if you like. this file is very optional)


USAGE:
======

wmmixer is based on the same interface used in my wmcdplay and wmmount programs.
it uses my own mixer control class (see mixctl.h)

it controls all mixer channels (in stereo and with recsrc button where
appropriate), although only a few will be identified with an icon.

it can now be configured to control/show only specific channels, through a
~/.wmmixer file.

click on the "<" and ">" buttons to select a different device/channel
the icon identifies the current device (a volume symbol
with a question mark represents an unknown device - commonly igain/ogain)
click / drag the volume display to set channel volume.
there is a also a button to set recording sources

what else can i say, enjoy!
