I guess there are some, check pending/contrib repos. However to speed
things up a bit, I'll just attach a solmix [1] binary, the simplest
cli mixer I could
find. If you prefer to build it yourself, you'd need a compiler and
the SUNWaudh package.

Setting the volume works by specifying an integer in the range of
0..31 . 10 works for me. For further notes on the usage see 'solmix
-h'

Andreas
