These are my "notes to self": qdbus can be called from the command line to control the mixer: qdbus org.kde.kmix /Mixer0 org.kde.KMix.increaseVolume Headphone:0 qdbus org.kde.kmix /Mixer0 org.kde.KMix.decreaseVolume Headphone:0 will increase and decrease the headphone volume. qdbus org.kde.kmix /Mixer0 org.kde.KMix.increaseVolume PCM:0 qdbus org.kde.kmix /Mixer0 org.kde.KMix.decreaseVolume PCM:0 will do the same for the PCM chanel. qdbus org.kde.kmix /Mixer0 org.kde.KMix.toggleMute Headphone:0 will toggle the headphone mute. Amarok does not work on the dbus (yet Nov 2008) so use the amarok command line: amarok --play-pause amarok --stop amarok --next amarok --previous I hope that this helps. -- Best Regards Peter Lewis |
