Description

Audio is command line audio volume and balance control program for Sun Solaris.

Usage

`audio`	Set default volume and balance
`audio +`	Increase volume
`audio -`	Decrease volume
`audio l`	Balance fully to left channel
`audio m`	Balance at midpoint
`audio r`	Balance fully to right channel
`audio` `volume`	Set volume
`audio` `volume` `balance`	Set volume and balance

Example

$ audio 200
volume:    0 .. 200 .. 255
balance:   0 ..  32 ..  64
$ audio -
volume:    0 .. 192 .. 255
balance:   0 ..  32 ..  64
$

Notes

The /usr/bin/audioplay program included in Solaris claims to be able to change volume and balance, but only when used interactively (standard input is a tty). If /usr/bin/audioplay is used non-interactively (e.g. connected to a window manager event) then it expects to read an audio stream from standard input and will also restore the volume and balance settings when it exits.

However, /usr/bin/audioplay does no seem to be able to change volume and balance while another program is using the audio device.
