Volumeicon : better volume applet in #lxde for !debian or #Lubuntu

I really like lxde and i have installed on all computers that i have (minus the android phone but soon enough i will install on that too :))
but there is one annoying bug or feature the volume applet at least at home
is controlling only the front speakers and no mixer to choose what to be controlled or any preferences , only if you modify the source.

There is the help of alsa mixer to the rescue
open console and type

alsamixer

but there is a better way volumeicon
it places an icon in status bar and when you right click you can choose mixer and it will show you the alsamixer in all it's glory
pretty cool that cli always saves you and is more trusted than the GUI

git clone https://github.com/icebreaker/volumeicon.git
cd volumeicon
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-notify
sudo make install

I have two soundcars so i have added in the config

cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [HDMI           ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI
                      HDA ATI HDMI at 0xfeaec000 irq 44
 1 [default        ]: USB-Audio - Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 
                      Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000  at usb-0000:00:1d.2-1, full speed

vi ~/.config/volumeicon/volumeicon
