+Volume.app -- a simple windowmaker volume control dockapp
+==========================================================================
+
+This is a simple volume control for the AfterStep / BlackBox / Window
+Maker dock. Volume.app is intended to be an extremely simple, efficient, and
+attractive interface to a system's sound mixer.
+
+Currently, only OSS mixer interface is supported. ALSA mixer can be used through
+ALSA's OSS emulation.
+
+
+
+==========================================================================
+NOTE1: look into "config.h.in" to set some options as needed;
+
+NOTE2: If the system is on "ALSA's OSS emulation" and the app didn't run OK,
+ remove the package and re-create it with those procedures:
+
+ 'cat /proc/asound/oss/sndstat' and search the "Mixers" section.
+ locate the desired 'mixer number' and then modify file "config.h.in",
+ at "DEFAULT_MIXER_DEVICE" parameter. Then, re-create the package.
+
+ Eg: if desired mixer is "2", modify "config.h.in" as below:
+
+ DEFAULT_MIXER_DEVICE "/dev/mixer"
+ ( to )
+ DEFAULT_MIXER_DEVICE "/dev/mixer2"
