EXAMPLES
The commandaumix -q -v75 -m 0 -c R -c+10 -m q
prints all settings, sets volume to 75%, sets microphone to 0, sets CD to record, increases the CD level by ten (both left and right), and prints the new settings for the microphone.
The .aumixrc file containing:
vol:60:60 wait:5000 vol:50:50
sets the volume to 60%, waits five seconds, then reduces the volume to 50%. Note that "wait" lines will not be saved by aumix. They must be added by hand.
