WMRack is a combination sound mixer and CD player, designed for use with the Window Maker Dock, but usable with most or all X11 window managers. WMRack can easily be “swallowed” by the FVWM buttonbar, the Afterstep wharf or the Gnome or KDE panels.

WMrack makes effective use of its small size. If your Dock (wharf, panel, whatever) is getting crowded, the combined functionality of WMRack can be handy. If you don't play CDs very often, you can use WMRack primarily as a mixer, and still have a CD player available when you need it, without wasting space on it, and without needing to hunt through menus to find one.

What's New in This Release:
The mixer settings file parsing logic has been almost completely rewritten to be more robust, and to fix the bug where WMRack would get confused about which mixer device to use when two such devices had similar names (e.g. "pcm" and "pcm2").
"< linux/soundcard.h >" has been changed to "< sys/soundcard.h >", which should be more portable.
Some minor updates have been made to the man page.
