    <title>Configuring gvolwheel</title>

    <para>Before using this application, use <command>alsamixer</command> to
    ensure the channels are not muted, and are set to suitable levels so that the
    master volume control will provide suitable levels. Once
    <command>gvolwheel</command> is running you can, if you wish. right-click on
    its icon in the tray to change it to control the PCM volume instead of the
    master volume. Depending on your theme settings, you may also wish to tick
    &quot;Use Gnome Icons&quot;.</para>

    <para>If you middle-click on the icon, it will mute the volume, that is, it
    will set it to zero : do not confuse this with the mute/unmute controls in
    e.g. <command>alsamixer</command>.</para>
