wmmixer - A mixer application designed for WindowMaker
Contents
Configuration
Users can configure wmmixer to suit their requirements by means of a ~/.wmmixer file. A commented example
can be found in /usr/share/doc/wmmixer on Debian systems, and would be a good starting point
Description
wmmixer is a mixer application designed for WindowMaker, although there is nothing in the program that
makes it require WindowMaker, except maybe the NeXTStep look and the fact that it properly docks. It can
be used with other window managers without problems.

identified with an appropriate icon. Controls include a stereo (mono where appropriate) volume control
and a recording source toggle button.
Press the "<" and ">" arrow buttons to select a channel. The icon identifies the current channel (a
volume symbol with a question mark represents an unrecognised channel). Click and/or drag the volume
display to set channel volume. There is a also a button to set recording sources.
