Here's one for you all - my keyboard has a scroll wheel, and I currently have it hooked via dwm to run an external shell script to increase/decrease the volume. I find that if my machine's under heavy-ish load (or if I scroll a lot), multiple processes open and all try to increment the volume to the same target. Too many cooks spoil the broth and we end up going quite slowly. I was thinking of linking dwm with alsa and doing all of the volume control inside dwm. Before you start flaming, I realise dwm is a window manager, not a volume control, which is why I'm writing to the list - anyone got any smart ideas about this? Cheers, Rob
