wmVolMan is a tiny volume control tool designed for Window Maker. It provides users with a straightforward interface to manage the volume of their system quickly.
One of the standout features of wmVolMan is its use of D-BUS and HAL. These technologies enable the applet to listen for new devices and respond appropriately when you add or remove them from your system. This can save you a lot of time and hassle, especially if you frequently work with external devices.
It's worth noting that wmVolMan is currently in alpha development. While it should work as intended, there may be bugs that you encounter along the way. As such, it's always a good idea to proceed with caution and backup your data regularly.
To use wmVolMan, you'll need to have a few other software components installed as well. These include D-BUS, GLib, HAL, libDockApp, and Window Maker. If you're already using Window Maker, you likely have most of these requirements already fulfilled.
Finally, it's worth mentioning that the latest release of wmVolMan includes a new feature: graceful handling of DBus and Hal restarts. This should help ensure that your volume management remains stable and reliable, even as you make changes to your system. Overall, if you're looking for a simple and effective volume manager for Window Maker, wmVolMan may be just what you need.
