XAmixer

• Stereo Volume Control with channel locking.
• Supports as many cards as ALSA, in a notebook interface.
• You can choose (in a config file) what channels to display.

I have started the 0.3 development branch because XAmixer has been rewritten to support versions of Alsa >= 0.4.0. For a while this branch was called XAmixer2 but that code has now become XAmixer 0.3.1. Development is slow but continuing. If you have any patches or requests please let me know.

The reason for the change was that the mixer interface of ALSA changed dramatically and I am releasing XAmixer under the terms of the GPL. The terms of copying are included in the source distribution.

XAmixer does not work with alsa version .9 or greater. The mixer interface in .9 is different again and honestly I don't feel like keeping up the needless rewrites of the interface. Well, that and Abramo Bagnara is, or at least was, in my opinion, an ass. Since he is, or at least was, central to alsa development and I couldn't stand talking to him, I gave up several years ago. If the mixer interface for alsa is (1) useful (2) stable and (3a)no longer requires any interaction whatsoever with Abramo Bagnara or (3b) Abramo is no longer so strident and difficult to deal with or work with, please let me know and I'll look into writing a gtk mixer for ALSA again. I like the ALSA project (and I like Jaroslav).

Miscellanous Notes

• If anyone has pixmaps that I can use for the mixer labels, other buttons, or the icon, I would greatly appreciate sending them to me. Thanks.
• And if you'd like to see the changelog, it's at: CHANGELOG.html.
• Versioning:
  version >= 0.1.9:
  In order to get the number of lines, I use c_count 7.0. (Available from sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/devel/lang/c/).
  version <= 0.1.8:
  In order to get the number of lines, I used the command:

   cat *.c *.h | grep -v ^$ | egrep -v '^( )*/\*.*\*/' | wc -l

  This should get rid of all blank lines and lines that are exclusively comments. It doesn't get rid of the copying policy at the beginning of each .c file, though.
