💖 MIXER(7) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a manual page from section 7 of the manual — that's the "miscellaneous / devices" girlies — and it's literally dated 11 February 2015. she's been here a minute and she's still slaying. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

mixer — the Open Sound System mixer (control panel) device. no cap, that's the whole name.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the tea: mixer devices are what control panel programs and mixer programs use — think stuff like ossxmix(1) — to change volumes and other settings of the sound cards chillin' in your system. 🎚️✨

like… it's the little middleman between your cute lil' GUI slider and the actual sound card. she's giving main character energy but for audio levels 💅

🧚 PROGRAMMING INFORMATION 🧚

want the deep lore? go read the OSS Mixer Programming section of the OSS Programmer's Guide, aka MIXER(2). that's where the real info lives, bestie 🫶

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

  • None — nope, nothing, zero, nada. there are no options here 🙈 she's a simple girl and she knows it.

🌈 FILES 🌈

  • /dev/mixer — this is the default mixer device file in the system ⭐ like, if you didn't specify anything, this is the one she's talking to. iconic.
