wmix, wmmixer, and wmsmixer: portage's short description claims all 3 support ALSA. one fails on "XpmError: XpmOpenFailed (.1986-2)" and the others fail on "no such device /dev/mixer", while -d hw:0,0(,0) just sends them for a loop
gnome-panel has the perfect volume control, but then gnome-settings-daemon launches and screws up all the fonts, not to mention chews 15 or 30 mb of ram. and when you kill gnome-settings-daemon, the volume control button _disappears_ from the panel, while the other stuff stays
in summary, is there a volume control for fluxbox that actually works?
I use keyboard shortcuts for volume control in fluxbox. take a look at this:
http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php/Howto_edit_the_keys_file
if you want some visual feedback on your mixer, you can set up a
keyboard shortcut to launch good ole' alsamixer. something like
Mod4 m :Exec xterm -e alsamixer
here is the ~/.fluxbox/keys file i'm using on my laptop.
Mod4 t :exec aterm
Mod4 space :ShowDesktop
Mod4 x :ExecCommand xmmsXclip
Mod4 e :exec printenv | xmessage -file -
Mod4 Print :ExecCommand gnome-screenshot
none XF86AudioMute :exec amixer sset Master toggle
none XF86AudioLowerVolume :exec amixer sset Master 1-
none XF86AudioRaiseVolume :exec amixer sset Master 1+
none XF86WWW :exec firefox
Mod4 m :exec xterm -e alsamixer
The pretty little volume up, volume down keys work, thanks to the gentoo
wiki.
