-Using Alsamixer
-===============
-
-Alsamixer uses an ncurses interface, which may not display properly in
-an xterm.
-
-Start it by typing "alsamixer".
-
-Optional flags:
-alsamixer -h displays the available flags.
-alsamixer -e starts in "exact" mode. See below...
-alsamixer -c N selects the soundcard to control, where N is the number of
-the card, counting from 1.
-alsamixer -m selects which mixer device to control, counting from 0. This
-is only applicable to soundcards that have more than one mixer to
-control. It is the same as the amixer -d flag.
-
-
-Keyboard commands:
-==================
-
-Left & right arrow keys are used to select the channel (or device,
-depending on your preferred terminology). You can also use n (next)
-and p (previous).
-
-Up/down arrows control the volume for the currently selected device.
-Both the left & right signals are controlled.
-You can also use "+" or "-" to turn volumes up or down.
-
-"M" toggles muting for the current channel (both left and right). You can
-mute left and right independently by using , and . respectively.
-
-SPACE toggles recording: the current channel will be added or removed from
-the sources used for recording. This only works on valid input channels,
-of course.
-
-"L" re-draws the screen.
-
-TAB does something interesting: it toggles the mode for volume display.
-This affects the numbers you see, but not the operation of the level
-controls. There seem to be two modes: one is percentages from 0-100, the
-other is called "exact mode" and varies from channel to channel. This
-shows you the settings as the soundcard understands them. All the channel
-level ranges are from 0 to a power of 2 minus one (e.g. 0-31 or 0-63).
-
-Quick Volume Changes
---------------------
-
-PageUp increases volume by 10.
-PageDown decreases volume by 10.
-Home sets volume to 100.
-End sets volume to 0.
-
-You can also control left & right levels for the current channel
-independently,
-according to this chart:
-
-Q | W | E <-- UP
--------------
-Z | X | C <---DOWN
-
-^ ^ ^
-| | +-- Right
-| |
-| +--- Both
-|
-Left
-
-
-If the current mixer channel is not a stereo channel, then all UP keys
-will work like W, and all DOWN keys will work like X.
-
-
-Exiting
-=======
-
-You can exit with ALT + Q, or by hitting ESC.
