I think you are making things unnecessarily complex... Here is what I use.. works for all apps and not just XMMS! And I run the OSD Mixer from osdsh .. so I get a really cool meter on the bottom of the screen when I'm changing the settings! Here are the relevant lines from my .fvwm2rc ... #Sound Controls.... #Master Volume Key XF86AudioLowerVolume A N Exec /usr/bin/aumix -v -3 Key XF86AudioRaiseVolume A N Exec /usr/bin/aumix -v +3 #PCM Volume Key XF86AudioLowerVolume A M Exec /usr/bin/aumix -w -3 Key XF86AudioRaiseVolume A M Exec /usr/bin/aumix -w +3 #Bass Key XF86AudioLowerVolume A C Exec /usr/bin/aumix -b -3 Key XF86AudioRaiseVolume A C Exec /usr/bin/aumix -b +3 #Treble Key XF86AudioLowerVolume A 4 Exec /usr/bin/aumix -t -3 Key XF86AudioRaiseVolume A 4 Exec /usr/bin/aumix -t +3 #Mute Key XF86AudioMute A A Exec /usr/bin/amixer -c1 sset Master toggle #XMMS Specific controls.. Key XF86AudioPlay A N Exec /usr/bin/xmms -t Key XF86AudioStop A N Exec /usr/bin/xmms -s Key XF86AudioPrev A N Exec /usr/bin/xmms -r Key XF86AudioNext A N Exec /usr/bin/xmms -f (you will have to change the Mute command.. I have two sound cards and use Alsa) Kingsly -- -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
