You could write a little script to adjust the volume up or down using

ossmix vol <nn>

where <nn> is the desired volume percentage and then put a pair of buttons on the JWM tray (bar).

I think there are some extensions that include volume widgets as well.

PPR, data persistence through filetool.sh          |  32 bit core 8.0 alpha 1
USB Flash drive, one partition, ext2, grub4dos  | Otherwise similar

Thanks Lee, if you know the name of any of these widgets let me know.

Sorry to provide less detail than I might have - I wasn't in front of a TC machine yesterday.  I'm still not, but I think the Flit extension provides sound control through OSS.

I'll post a sample script in the programming and scripting section that you can use if you want to look at just using the JWM tray.
