# First you have the host, username, and password
# we use to connect to the asterisk system
#
+# What is this? Well, haven't you ever wished you could automatically
+# turn down the volume on your stereo, CDPlayer, etc, when a call comes in,
+# and then return it to normal when the call ends? Well, this is a possible
+# mechanism to make this happen!
+# You have to fire up the new utils/muted, which runs as a daemon in the
+# background. This daemon connects to asterisk via a manager interface, and
+# also reads this config file from /etc/muted.conf. when the channels mentioned
+# are activated, it tweaks the sound levels on the sound card(s).
+# So, depending on the sound card, you may be able to run all your sound
+# generating devices thru your sound card, and use this mechanism to quiet
+# them down while you are on the phone. If anyone figures out how to make
+# this work with kids, please inform!!
