Is someone intresting to make a sound-mixer wmaker dockapp for ALSA

Hi!

I am looking for someone who can create a sound-mixer dockapp that supports ALSA and not OSS.

Source for http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/pld-lin.../wmmixer-alsa/ cannot be compiled in ubuntu.

I have also tested with wmmixer-alsa-0.6-1.i686.rpm
1) Extracted files with xarchiver.
2) Installed libxpm-dev, and followed this guide to make it possible for 32 bit programs to run on a 64 bit Ubuntu.
3) Copied sub-folders from X11R6 directory into /usr/
4) Created a symlink ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXpm.so.4.11.0 libXpm.so.4 in the /lib/ directory and got errors like:
./wmmixer-alsa
./wmmixer-alsa: error while loading shared libraries: libXpm.so.4: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

How make it work? Or how to compile the source code correctly without any problems/erros?

At least I found a alsamixer-dockapp. It looks like a Mixer.app but using ALSA instead of OSS. It is easy to compile, just by using make command and then sudo make install:

install -d  /usr/local/GNUstep/Apps/AlsaMixer.app
install -m 0755 AlsaMixer.app /usr/local/GNUstep/Apps/AlsaMixer.app/AlsaMixer

The executable AlsaMixer file is installed in the /usr/local/GNUstep/Apps/AlsaMixer.app
For an easy access you can create a symlink:

cd /usr/local/bin
ln -s /usr/local/GNUstep/Apps/AlsaMixer.app/AlsaMixer AlsaMixer

It will work like a charm and has a lot of good configuration options:

AlsaMixer -h
AlsaMixer.app Copyright (c) 1998-2002 by Per Liden (per@fukt.bth.se), Petr Hlavka (xhlavk00@stud.fit.vutbr.cz)

options:
 -1 <source>     set sound source for control 1 (default is Master)
 -2 <source>     set sound source for control 2 (default is PCM)
 -3 <source>     set sound source for control 3 (default is CD)
 -w 1|2|3        bind a control button to the mouse wheel (default is 1)
 -l <text>       set label text
 -S              save volume settings on exit
 -L              load volume settings on start up
 -f    <file>       use setting <file> instead of ~/GNUstep/Defaults/AlsaMixer
 --card <id>     select card
 --device <dev>  select device, default 'default'
 -e <command>    execute <command> on middle click
 -n <name>       set client instance name
 -d <disp>       set display
 -v              print version and exit
 -h, --help      display this help and exit

But leaks one of my favorite feature from wmmixer , when clicking somewhere on the bar it jumps there and no need to pull. Unfortunately I could not compile wmmixer-alsa and so far got no help with it.

Thanks for me!
