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.

fault. Plain old \fBxterm\fP seems to be fine.
