pgmixer 1.0

pgmixer project is a gnome applet for controlling a mixer you specify (from back when GNOME programs were actually useful for something).

The mixer that comes with gnome only controls the master volume. If you need a volume control for one or more other mixers, you could give this a go. Alternatively if you use gkrellm you could try its volume plugin.

You will need aumix and Gtk-Perl (if you use mandrake linux I think the package name is perl-gtk).

How to use it:

Run it like

pgmixer [channel option]

where [channel option] is a single character which specifies the mixer to use - use pgmixer -help to get a list.
If you dont like the default orientation of the applet you can flip it by adding a "-flip" argument - for example

pgmixer w -flip

creates an applet for the PCM mixer, with the default orientation flipped around.

You can run more than one of these and the panel should remember their positions correctly.
