- X M M I X version 1.1
- ----------------------
- by Ti Kan
-
-
- Xmmix is a sound mixer utility for the X Window System using the
- OSF/Motif interface. It requires the "VoxWare" sound driver by
- Hannu Savolainen (hannu@voxware.pp.fi), also known as the Linux
- sound driver. See notes below about how to get VoxWare.
-
- This version of xmmix has been tested by the author with VoxWare
- version 2.4, 2.5, 2.90 and 3.0. It is expected to work with earlier
- and future versions.
-
- The OS platforms supported by xmmix is the same as those supported
- by VoxWare, which includes several UNIX variants for the Intel x86
- PC:
- Linux
- FreeBSD
- NetBSD
- SCO UNIX and Open Desktop
- UNIX SVR4.2 (Novell UnixWare and others)
-
- It should be fairly easy to port VoxWare to other PC UNIX
- platforms.
-
- Likewise, the sound cards supported by xmmix are those that
- VoxWare supports. Currently, this includes:
-
- Adlib
- Creative Labs Sound Blaster series
- Media Vision Pro Audio Spectrum 16
- Media Vision Jazz16 based soundcards (ProSonic, 3D etc.)
- Gravis UltraSound
- Gravis UltraSound MAX
- Gravis UltraSound with 16 bit sampling daughter card
- Roland MPU-401
- Microsoft Windows Sound System
- COVOX SoundMaster II
- ECHO-PSS (cards based on the PSS architecture by Analog Devices.
- Including Orchid SW32, Cardinal DSP16 among others).
- MediaTriX AudioTriX Pro
- Ensoniq SoundScape
- SoundMan Wave
- and others
-
- Not all versions of VoxWare supports all of these cards.
- Please refer to the VoxWare documentation for further details.
- Comments and questions about the VoxWare driver and utilities
- should be directed to "hannu@voxware.pp.fi".
-
- This distribution now comes with several 32x32 pixmap files
- suitable for use as an xmmix desktop icon:
-
- xmmix.icon - for Novell UnixWare
- xmmix_a.px - for SCO Open Desktop (XPM2 format)
- xmmix_b.px - for SCO Open Desktop (XPM2 C format)
- xmmix.xpm - for other systems that use XPM format
-
- You can use the appropriate icon setup utilities under each of
- these environments to create an xmmix icon (with which you can use to
- launch xmmix).
-
- Comments, suggestions, and bug reports about xmmix are very welcome!
- Write to "ti@amb.org".
-
- If you have a CD-ROM drive, you are invited to try a full-featured
- X11/Motif CD Audio Player utility that I wrote. It's called "xmcd"
- and supports many UNIX OS platforms and CD-ROM drives. Xmmix and
- xmcd makes an ideal pair in your multimedia system. A non-X
- command line CD player "cda" is also included in the xmcd package.
- See notes below about the anonymous FTP location.

- CHANGES SINCE PREVIOUS RELEASE:
- -------------------------------
- - Modifications to support the VoxWare 3.0 sound driver.
- - Xmmix now queries the driver and updates all on-screen controls
- each time it receives input focus. This keeps xmmix controls
- up-to-date in an environment where multiple mixer applications
- are running on a single sound card.
- - Added the autoLoadOnStartup and resetOnExit features. See the
- man page for info.
- - Fixed a bug that caused some of the Rec toggle buttons to be
- shown in the wrong state upon startup.
- - Modified to print more meaningful debugging output when the
- -debug option is used.
- - This distribution now comes with several 32x32 pixmap files
- suitable for use as an xmmix desktop icon. See the README file
- for details.
