My last install of Manjaro and WindowMaker, this issue was not present with this dockapp, not I am getting /dev/mixer not present.

Code:

userx@manjaroeo:~
$ wmix
error: cannot open mixer device /dev/mixer
userx@manjaroeo:~
$ wmix -h

  -e <name> exclude channel, can be used many times
  -f <file> parse this config [~/.wmixrc]
  -h        print this help
  -k        disable grabing volume control keys
  -m <dev>  mixer device [/dev/mixer]

fixed it, I just comipled from source and guess what it works. that much have been how I did this last time, without even bothering to see if it is in their repo, though I have to say who ever did it then submitted it and it does not even work with the OS they wrote it to work in. humm...

Write a bug report.

it is not a bug, it is a error in the maintainers ability to do something correctly for the distro he she is trying to contribute to.
