ossvol - an oss volume/muting control script

Ghost1227 · 2008-12-10 04:07:47

I recently had to switch to oss due to issues with alsa. My only problem with oss was an inability to incorporate it into my awesome configuration... even when i got it to display properly, I couldn't get it to mute (ossmix doesn't natively allow you to mute, how screwed up is that??). Hence, ossvol was born.

Visit us here for more info!

ossvol is also available via the AUR.

usage: ossvol [option] [argument]

Options:
     -i, --increase - increase volume by [argument]
     -d, --decrease - decrease volume by [argument]
     -t, --toggle   - toggle mute on and off
     -h, --help     - display help

Nice! but i have already have the scripts like ossraisevol, ossmute

Ghost1227 · 2008-12-10 07:25:34

Well I didn't that's why i wrote ossvol

I'm assuming you've put this on script wiki

That would be pretty sad if the maintainer of ScriptWiki failed to post one of their own scripts yes, that was the first thing i did.

Well, I'll admit that I borrowed the about portion of the script (with a little modification) from your changevol script, although given that changevol is written in python, built for alsa, and intended to show a volume bar while ossvol is a bash script, built for oss, and intended to add mute functionality to oss while displaying nothing, I'd say that the similarities end there.

Good work, but I have had to modify CHANNEL value since mine is set to vmix0-outvol instead of vol.

Ghost1227 · 2008-12-22 00:03:57

That's why it's a variable (at some point in time, I may extend it more and add a config file where changing CHANNEL and the other few variables is easier, but that's not a huge priority right now). Enjoy though!
