What is Umix ?
\layout Standard
Umix is a program for adjusting soundcard mixers in Linux and other Unices. You can control your volumes, balances and recording sources flexibly from the command line, or with a fullscreen user interface. Umix currently supports Linux, OSS and dummy mixer devices. I designed it as an replacement for Aumix. \layout Subsection
How to use Umix ?
\layout Standard
Read the man-page.
\layout Subsection
What does Umix mean ?
\layout Standard
Nothing particular.
Ultimate Mixer ? Unix Mixer ? Something like that.
Yes, I know it's a dull name.
\layout Subsection
Why another volume mixer ?
\layout Standard
I got frustrated with Aumix, and there were no other good alternatives that
had terminal/ncurses user interfaces.
I myself like to do all my work in a console, and at the same time I usually
listen to mp3/nsf music, and need to adjust my soundcard volumes constantly.
Aumix acts weird, eats too much CPU cycles etc.
If you want to modify it in any sensible way, total rewrite would be the
only way.

Debugging
\layout Standard
If you want to debug Umix, configure it with the option
\series bold
--enable-debug
\series default
.
This will enable debugging information printed to stderr.
If you want to enable the dummy mixer that has predefined volume levels
and other settings, pass the
\series bold
\emph on
--
\emph default
enable-dummy
\series default
to configure, and use the command line option
\series bold
-r
\series default
\emph on
dummy.
