I am trying to write a script that will turn up/down your system volume, mute, etc. Anyone know if there are libraries/shell commands to do this? I can use "dcop" to control the volume of Amarok or tell it to skip forward, etc, but I need something for the actual system volume.
As an added bonus, if anyone can tell me how to send more generic "multimedia commands" (like what would happen if you pressed a multimedia key like "next" on a multimedia keyboard), I'll mail you a cookie. I make great cookies.
I've recently gotten a lot better at working with infrared devices in Linux, and I'd like to create a little GUI program with which people can easily program their remotes. The existing programs out there really didn't come through for me to get my stuff working, so I figure they could use some healthy competition.
