FFADO-MIXER(1)

🎛️✨ FFADO-MIXER — the manual, but make it cute ✨🎛️

okay bestie, gather round, because this is ffado-mixer, a page from the General Commands Manual, and she is that girl. 💅

She's a graphical front-end for the FFADO mixer DBus controls that get exposed by ffado-dbus-server. Yes, the whole vibe is "pretty window, serious audio business." 👑

🌸 NAME 🌸

ffado-mixer — a graphical front-end for the FFADO mixer DBus controls exposed by ffado-dbus-server. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ffado-mixer [options]

Available options: [-b]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So ffado-mixer pulls up a graphical application, right, and that app lets you control a FFADO device. Main character energy, honestly. 🫶

But here's the thing — how much you can actually control depends entirely on how well the device is supported in FFADO and in ffado-dbus-server. No cap. The device support level is the vibe check here.

Typical controls that ffado-mixer serves up include:

• faders for the on-board mixer 🎚️
• phantom power control ⚡
• mode switches
• and so on 💫

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -b — Do not go querying ffado-dbus-server for an active interface. Instead, it creates an instance of a mixer for every supported interface as defined in FFADO's "configuration" file, with stubs that hand you placeholder values instead of the settings you'd normally get from the interface. This is primarily to assist with debugging. 🐛🔍

bestie, real talk: this flag is a debugging thing. It's giving "fake values on purpose," not "actual device settings." Don't get tricked. 😭
