Version 1.11:
	Fixed the Makefile to compile out of the box with Slackware
--

	This is my first attempt at a tk application, and is also my
first attempt at any kind of sound application, so I'd be interested
in any feedback you might have.
Please send any comments to slouken@cs.ucdavis.edu

What it is:
	There is a standalone volume program that allows you to change
the volume of the soundcard from the command line.
	There is a tk/tcl script that allows you to play .au sound
files (Sun Ulaw format) with a slide bar controlling volume.
Other sound formats should be easy to add, but I haven't done it.

Typing make compiles 'vish', a tk/tcl interpreter similar to wish,
but with a volume control command built in.
I've included a precompiled version of vish (only 4K) but it 
requires the tk/tcl shared libraries as well as shared X11, C and 
math libraries (all supplied by Slackware 1.2.*).  Recompiling 
shouldn't be a problem if you are running Linux with tk/tcl.
The sound module currently only supports the volume command, and
is dependent upon the Linux sound-driver.

Now for the good part. :)
There are two versions of my volume control application.  The
command line version can be built by typing:

	cc -N -o volume volume.c

You can type 'volume -h' for a usage summary.
The second version is the tk/tcl X application.  This script has 
a nice sliding bar allowing you to modify the volume, and a 
point-and-click interface to select files for playing on your
soundcard.  If you have vish, you modify the volume.tk script, 
changing the pathname to vish and the initial working directory,
and can directly modify the volume from within the tk application.  
If you don't have vish, you can use the volume.tk.orig script which 
calls the external volume program.  It's much slower, so if you have 
vish use it instead.  The script volume.tk.orig is also a bit older 
than volume.tk and isn't quite as robust.

The tk script works quite nicely for me, and I've been using it to
play miscellaneous songs when I feel like it.  Heh, I can pump it
up for the rocking songs, and make it quiet for the mellow ones. :)

I hope you all enjoy it! :)
