Hello, oh ye who possess magical wisdom,
I'm trying to manipulate sound volume (both main && pcm) from a script. Right now I've got aumix installed so just doing system("aumix -v$NewVolum") werks for me but is not a good solution. I've STFC (Serched The Fscking CPAN) && only found a wrapper for mixing .wav files together. How can I cleanly manipulate /dev/mixer in order to change volumes && stuff? The source to aumix doesn't give me a good clue of how I might mimic in Perl. Thanks muchly for any assistance you might be able to provide. TTFN.
