Pgmixer is a GNOME applet that controls a designated mixer. It enables the user to manage and regulate audio levels of different devices from within the GNOME desktop environment.
If you're in need of a volume control for specific mixers, pgmixer is a gnome applet for controlling a mixer of your choice. This tool comes in handy since the mixer that comes with gnome only controls the master volume.
For those who use gkrellm, there's also a volume plugin available for you to try. Before using pgmixer, make sure you have aumix and Gtk-Perl installed on your system. If you use Mandrake Linux, the package name for Gtk-Perl is perl-gtk.
Using pgmixer is simple. Just run it like this: pgmixer [channel option], where [channel option] is a single character indicating the mixer you want to use. You can get a list of available options by using the command pgmixer -help.
For those who don't like the default orientation of the applet, you can flip it by adding a "-flip" argument to the command. For example, pgmixer w -flip creates an applet for the PCM mixer with the default orientation flipped around.
Lastly, you can run more than one of these applets, and the panel will remember the positions correctly. All in all, pgmixer is a useful tool for controlling specific mixers in your system.
