<sect1> NOTES<p>
First of all you need a kernel with sound support.
Scan the output of the <em/dmesg</> command or the <em>sndstat</>
device (use <em>cat</>) for sound support.
<bf/sndvolmix/ needs to read <em>/dev/mem</em>, therefor you need to
be superuser, or "set UID" of this program must be set.

<sect1> BUGS<p>
<bf/sndvolmix/ (as distributed in the pmac-utils RPM) accesses the
awacs device registers directly without telling the audio driver.
If you run a program which uses the audio driver, the driver will
often update the registers with what it thinks are the current values,
which may differ from what you set with sndvolmix.
It is therefor recommended to use for example aumix, xmixer, xmmixer, etc.
