3. Other useful sound utilities

This section has nothing to do with the actual playing of sound files. Rather, it is a collection of some sound utilities that one might find useful.

3.1 volume

This is a simple command line interface for controlling the volume (what else could it be?). It also has a separate program with a Tcl/Tk interface included in the package for controlling the volume and playing .au sound files. A very simple Tcl/Tk CD player is also included.

This is Freeware and it is written by Sam Lantinga ([email protected]).

It can be found at ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/sound/volume-2.1.tar.gz.

3.2 setmixer

This is a command line mixer control program.

3.3 Tickle Music

This beta Tcl/Tk program is a music file browser that allows you to play various sound formats as long as an appropriate program to play it is on your system. By default gmod is used for playing MOD files and mp for playing MIDI files (you can change the source to use other programs).
