  Description     : Volume mixer for the system tray

PNMixer is a simple mixer application designed to run in your system tray. It integrates nicely into desktop environments that don't have a panel that supports applets, and therefore can't run a mixer applet. In particular it's been used quite a lot with fbpanel and tint2, but should run fine in any system tray.

PNMixer is a fork of OBMixer with a number of additions. These include:

 *   Volume adjustment with the scroll wheel
 *   Select which ALSA device and channel to use
 *   Detect disconnect from sound system and re-connect if requested
 *   Bind and use HotKeys for volume control
 *   Texual display of volume level in popup window
 *   Continous volume adjustment when dragging the slider (not just when you let go)
 *   Draw a volume level onto system tray icon
 *   Use system icon theme for icons and use mute/low/medium/high volume icons
 *   Configurable middle click action
 *   Preferences for:
     *   volume text display
     *   volume text position
     *   icon theme
     *   amount to adjust per scoll
     *   middle click action
     *   drawing of volume level on tray icon


Note from the reporter: much better than volumeicon in my opinion. Very stable,
it has a handy right click menu from which you can summon a more complete mixer
 - pavucontrol in my case. There are deb packages already compiled for
Crunchbang (a Debian derivative) at http://packages.crunchbang.org/waldorf/pool/main/
I used both i386 and amd64 versions and they work very well, if you want to have a try.
