wmrack 1.4 The WindowMaker Sound Control Panel by Oliver Graf Currently maintained by Chris Waters <xtifr@users.sourceforge.net> See http://wmrack.sourceforge.net for the latest news and updates. DESCRIPTION: ------------ WMRack is a Dock/Wharf applet which gives you complete control over your CDROM, the Mixer and hopefully in the future to other sound related stuff (feel free to send suggestions). It's main advantage is the high configurability, which will let you specify different looks for the window at startup. CD-Functions: * Display Track and Time (remaining/to-go, track/total) * Play, Pause, Stop, Eject, Load, Track +/-, Fast Fore-/Back-ward * Display of total tracks and length when a new CD is loaded * random play, skip data tracks, play lists Mixer Functions: * startup options for initial volume * control all your mixer devices * control balance * change record sources Currently supported platforms are: Linux (stable), Solaris (experimental) and FreeBSD (experimental). INSTALLATION: ------------- First you need to configure the whole package with: ./configure (see './configure --help' for options) Now you can make a link in XPM to the style you want compiled into WMRack using 'ln -s A.style standart.style' or do nothing for the default. After this a 'make' will compile WMRack and a 'make install' will install it. Special note to Solaris users: Solaris support is new as-of release 1.4, and it should be considered somewhat experimental. You will probably need to install the OSS drivers from www.opensound.com before configuring/installing (although future versions of OpenSolaris may incorporate OSS, so you might be able to skip this step). USAGE: ------ Look into the manpage for supported options and functions. Easily swallowed by dock (use the --withdrawn option).

Include a description how the bug can be reproduced plus the vendor and model of your cdrom and/or soundcard. Also include a debug log (configure with --with-debug -- this is the default for beta versions) created with your bug-reproduction-recipe. Send new styles or style questions to xtifr@users.sourceforge.net Oliver may no longer support the program, but if you'd like to tell him that you appreciate his work, you can email ograf@fga.de HISTORY: -------- Basically this thing borrowed much from WorkBone, ascd and asmixer. But in the progress of work, almost any part that was stolen, has been rewritten, restructured, and overworked.
