The DCOP Interface

Sometimes you want to do specialized things. Things like controlling the mixer from another application or muting the master device every day at 10pm. KMix has a DCOP interface that allows you to achieve much with minimal work. You can start a shell and type dcop kmix to start exploring the KMix DCOP interface. The KMix specific interfaces are:

Mixer0

kmix-mainwindow#1

The GUI window can be controlled with this command. You can hide and show the window, resize it and much more. Type dcop kmix kmix-mainwindow#1 if you want to explore all the features.
