1.1 provos 59: .Sh DESCRIPTION
1.6 provos 60: The
1.1 provos 61: .Nm
62: command displays or sets various audio system mixing variables.
1.10 aaron 63: If a list of variables is present on the command line,
1.1 provos 64: .Nm
65: prints the current value of those variables for the specified device.
1.10 aaron 66: By default,
1.1 provos 67: .Nm
1.10 aaron 68: operates on the
69: .Pa /dev/mixer
70: device.
71: .Pp
72: The options are as follows:
1.11 aaron 73: .Bl -tag -width Ds
1.10 aaron 74: .It Fl a
75: Print all device variables and their current values.
76: .It Fl w Ar name=value
77: Attempt to set the specified variable
78: .Ar name
79: to
80: .Ar value .
81: .It Fl v
82: Show the possible values of enumeration and set valued variables.
83: Enumerated values are shown in
84: .Dq []
85: and set values are shown in
86: .Dq {} .
87: .It Fl f Ar file
88: Specify an alternative audio mixing device.
89: .It Fl n
90: Suppress printing of the variable name.
91: .El
1.5 millert 92: .Pp
93: Values may be specified in either absolute or relative forms.
94: The relative form is indicated by a prefix of
1.10 aaron 95: .Ql +
1.5 millert 96: or
1.10 aaron 97: .Ql -
98: to denote an increase or decrease, respectively.
1.1 provos 99: .Pp
1.10 aaron 100: The exact set of controls that can be manipulated depends on
101: the mixer.
102: The general format (in both getting and setting a value) is
1.1 provos 103: .Pp
1.10 aaron 104: .Va class.name = value
1.6 provos 105: .Pp
106: The
107: .Va class
108: can have values like
109: .Li inputs
110: or
111: .Li outputs
112: indicating that the control affects the input resp. output to the
1.10 aaron 113: mixer.
114: The
1.6 provos 115: .Va name
116: indicates what part of the mixer the control affects.
1.8 aaron 117: Continuous mixer values, e.g., volume, have numeric values
1.10 aaron 118: in the range 0-255.
119: If value can be set for each channel independently
120: the values are printed separated by commas.
121: Discrete mixer values, e.g.,
122: the recording source, have symbolic names.
123: Depending on the mixer it
1.6 provos 124: may either be an enumeration or a set.
