volctl

Per-application volume control and OSD for Linux desktops.

I couldn't find a simple tray icon that allows to control multiple applications easily from the task bar. So I wrote my own.

Bug reports and patches welcome!

It's not meant to be an replacement for a full-featured mixer application. If you're looking for that check out the excellent pavucontrol.

Features

• Runs on virtually every desktop environment (Needs to support the freedesktop system tray specs)
• Control main volumes as well as individual applications
• Mute individual applications
• Shows application icons and names
• Per-application VU meter
• Double-click opens pavucontrol (or custom mixer application)
• Mouse-wheel support
• On-screen volume display (OSD)
