  • Make the `defvolcontrol' macro create all the necessary commands at once.

USAGE

Make sure you have your media keys (or whatever) mapped to the appropriate keysyms (using xmodmap), then put:

            (load "/path/to/amixer.lisp")

…in your ~/.stumpwmrc, followed by some keybindings (according to your preference)

Example keybindings:

            (define-key *top-map* (kbd "XF86AudioLowerVolume") "amixer-Front-1-")
            (define-key *top-map* (kbd "XF86AudioRaiseVolume") "amixer-Front-1+")
            (define-key *top-map* (kbd "XF86AudioMute") "amixer-Master-toggle pulse")

amixer commands take an optional parameter, the device parameter as passed to the -D. This can be useful if you are running pulseaudio.

Tasks

TODO Make the `defvolcontrol' macro create all the necessary commands at once.

• Should it just create, say, amixer-pcm, which would be passed an argument? i.e., (define-key this-map (kbd "e") "amixer-pcm 1-")
• Else, figure out how to make the macro not error when converting a string to a symbol for the name of the command
