alsamixer \- soundcard mixer for ALSA soundcard driver, with ncurses interface
.SH SYNOPSIS
Help: show available flags.
.TP
-\fI-c\fP <card number>
+\fI-c\fP <card number or idenfication>
Select the soundcard to use, if you have more than one. Cards are
-numbered from 1 (the default).
+numbered from 0 (the default).
.TP
-\fI-m\fP <device number>
-Select the soundcard device to control, if your card has more than
-one. Devices are numbered from 0 (the default). Not to be confused
-with the soundcard mixer channels, which are sometimes also referred
-to as "devices", just to be annoying. Many soundcards will only have
-device 0. Some more complex cards may have more. This flag corresponds
-to the -d flag for \fBamixer\fP, \fBarecord\fP, and \fBaplay\fP.
+\fI-D\fP <device identification>
+Select the mixer device to control.
.TP
-\fI-e\fP
-Start in "exact mode." This will affect the numbers you see displayed
-for volumes, but does not affect operation of the level controls.
-The default behavior is to show levels in percent from 0 to 100. This
-is easy to read, but can mislead you about how much control the
-soundcard actually lets you have. Exact mode, on the other hand, shows
-you the settings as the soundcard itself understands them. In exact
-mode, each channel level is between 0 and a power of 2 minus one
-(e.g. 0-7, or 0-63). Exact mode may also be toggled while alsamixer is
-running, by using \fITAB\fP.
+\fI-g\fP <toggle color settings>
+Toggle the using of colors.
+
+.TP
+\fI-m\fP <minimize mixer window>
+Minimize the mixer window.

+Some terminal emulators (e.g. \fBnxterm\fP) may not
work quite right with ncurses, but that's their own damn
fault. Plain old \fBxterm\fP seems to be fine.
