NAME

       asmix - the AfterStep volume control knob

SYNOPSIS

       asmix [-h] [-V]
               [-iconic] [-shape] [-withdrawn]
               [-geometry [+|-]x[+|-]y]
               [-exe command]

DESCRIPTION

       The  asmix is a X11 application that acts as a volume con­
       trol knob for the /dev/mixer device.  The applet  provides
       a distinctive AfterStep window manager look.

       The  best  thing about this applet is that you do not have
       to learn how to use it.  If  you  used  any  volume  knobs
       before  -  you  know how to operate this one. If you never
       came across such a thing then just grab the knob with  the
       left  button  of  your mouse and turn it into the position
       you like.

asmix(1)                                                 asmix(1)


       common invocation is the command line:

            user@host[1]% asmix &

       Another way to call asmix is from the AfterStep Wharf:

            *Wharf asmix nil Swallow "asmix" asmix -shape &

       This  line,  when  placed  in  the wharf file in the users
       Afterstep configuration directory will cause asmix to be a
       button on the Wharf (1) button bar under the afterstep (1)
       window manager.
