Solaris Audio Controller
I got tired of trying ot use Solaris' graphical audio controller,sdtaudiocontrol. It's slow locally, slower to xforward, etc. So I went on down to docs.sun.com and started perusing the documentation on audio(7I) and mixer(7I). A few hours later, BOOM, I've got a commandline audio control utility.It's written in C and requires nothing. Compile it with:
cc -o solaudio solaudio.c.
