Recent releases
- 30 May 2009 10:07
Changes: The GUI was updated with a new thinner icon. alsamixergui is now used by default if present. The volume slider is now closed automatically when the mixer is selected.
- 29 May 2009 17:07
Changes: The open volume control no longer takes up space on the taskbar. This was done via GTK code and should be respected by most window managers (tested on IceWM). A click or keypress on the opened control will close it (which is a bit easier than hitting the little system tray icon). All volume checking/setting is back to PCM (Slackware-based systems kept resetting PCM to zero after use).

Changes: The application now runs in the system tray. The mixer application can now be set to something other than the defaults.
- 23 May 2009 13:40
Changes: A MUTE button was added. The mixer app now defaults to alsamixergui, and uses alsamixer if it is not present. The interface uses the system default font and width scales to fit rather than being hard-coded. The mixer now sets the master volume and not the PCM channel as it previously did.
- 18 Aug 2008 20:36
Changes: This release adds a button to open the mixer (it looks for qamix, then alsamixer, then mentions that none is available if neither is found). It also adjusts PCM volume rather than master (changed in version 1.2 by popular request).
