💖 AUPANEL(1) 💖 — the General Commands Manual girlies' guide

okay bestie, so this is aupanel, from section 1 of the General Commands Manual, and she is literally the little GUI that lets you tweak your Network Audio System device attributes with your own two hands. no cap. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

aupanel — allows user adjustment of Network Audio System device attributes 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

aupanel [-audio servername] [-device id] [-interval seconds]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so aupanel serves up an X-based, window-oriented interface that lets you, the user, adjust the attributes of the devices that the Network Audio System service is out here providing. that's it, that's the whole vibe. main character energy fr fr 👑

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

here's the menu, bestie. the following options may be used with aupanel:

• -audio servername — this one specifies the Network Audio System server you wanna contact. like, which server are we pulling up on. 🫶
• -device id — this specifies the initially activated audio device on the server. and the id situation has rules, so listen up:
  • if the id is a decimal number n, then the nth</u> device returned by the server is used. count 'em, bestie.
  • if it's a hexadecimal number (starting with 0x), then it's used as the resource identifier of the desired device.
  • otherwise, id should be the exact device name (e.g. Stereo Channel Output). exact, okay? no typos, she's picky. 💅
  • and you can use auinfo to query an audioserver for this information. very handy, iykyk.
• -interval seconds — so aupanel queries the device attributes in regular intervals, with a default length of 10 seconds. with this option you can specify a different interval length. and if you set an interval length of 0, that disables the automatic querying entirely. no more pinging, we rest. 😴

additionally, options from the Athena Widget Set can be used. yes, those ones too. ✨

🌈 AUPANEL AND THE ATHENA WIDGET SET 🌈

aupanel uses the X Toolkit Intrinsics and the Athena Widget Set. for more info, go see the Athena Widget Set documentation. she's built different, and that's on purpose. 👑

🎀 ADJUSTING DEVICE ATTRIBUTES 🎀

here's how we actually do the thing:

• to adjust the attributes of a device, select the desired device from the Devices menu. that's your starting point, bestie.
• the device gain may be adjusted using the Gain slider. slide away. 🎚️
• if applicable, the device input mode can be toggled between Line-In and Microphone by clicking on the appropriate box.
• if applicable, the device output mode can be selected by clicking on the Speaker, Headphone, and Line-Out boxes. and ooh — some output devices may support combinations of these selections. mix and match, periodt. ✨
• to query the current device attributes, click on the Query button. 🔍
• to mute (resp. unmute) the current device, click on the Mute button. 🔇

💜 ENVIRONMENT 💜

in addition to the standard toolkit environment variables, the following environment variables are used by aupanel:

• AUDIOSERVER — this variable specifies the default audio server to contact if -audio is not specified on the command line. and if this variable is not set and -audio is not specified on the command line, then aupanel will attempt to connect to the audio server running on the X Window System display. she'll find a way, she always does. 🧚
