 SMIX 
 ---------------
 for Linux/X11R6


1. What it is ?

   smix is an audio mixer for Linux/X11R6 boxes.

2. Why another mixer ?

   Because...

   - all mixers for X do have some good features, but there was no mixer which do
     have it all.
   - all other mixers do have no configuration capabilities at all.
   - I want to set, increase or decrease the volume from the command line, which did
     (again) no other mixer.

4. Requirements

   a) smix needs (if not statically linked) the xforms (0.88) and Xpm libraries.
   b) It works with Voxware sound driver, so you will need this driver
      compiled in the kernel and a soundcard or other device which has
      a mixer.
