no volume control


here is the situ

Iam running licq and the audio is handled by the play script. All licq
sounds are badly distorted. Other programs I run in kde are fine with
there audio. If I use kmedia to play a licq wav file it sounds fine, but
using kmedia as the player for licq would cause my screen to fill with
kmedia windows.

I know the wav file are good
I know the hardware is fine

I dont know how to set vol for play(I have read the man for sox and
tried adjusting the play script from that, no good)



thx
guys
