I was over at Geralds' the other night and he showed me this neat key
binding to pause xmms[1] with the Pause/Break key. The command to
pause xmms is "xmms -u" from the command line.

Both him and I use enlightenment[2] so binding the key is relatively
easy from the enlightenment configuration[3] program.

Gerald then said it was too bad that he couldn't control the volume,
and I was sure there was a program from the command line that could do
it. Doing some searching with man I found aumix is capable.

So I spent some time and wrote this small perl script. I am no perl
expert so feel free to modify the code. The code is a bit anal, but is
quite readable. You shell scripters could probably do it in a couple
of lines.

1. www.xmms.org
2. www.enlightenment.org
3. I don't think it's being actively developed anymore, but you can
find it at www.rpmfind.net or search for it over the web. If you can't
contact me.

Cool!

But I don't understand why your extra perl script is needed -- I
just set up enlightenment to call "aumix -v+10" or "aumix -v-10"
whenever I press +/- on the keypad. (-v sets the master volume,
and -w sets the pcm.)

I wonder what the reasons are to use the master volume vs pcm? In
the past I have generally left the pcm at 90% (in xmms) and used
a gnome-panel applet to change the master volume.

Boy do I feel stoopid :)

See I knew someone would figure out a faster way. To be honest I never
even thought about binding the command to the key. Guess I am too used to
scripting stuff and that's what first popped into my head. Getting old.
