              Set the volume  for  a  specific  input  or  output
              device.  name is the name of the device as shown in
              the show command.  value is the percent  volume  to
              set or ``-'' to decrease 5% or ``+'' to increase 5%

       recsrc name
              Set  the  recording  source  to  a  specific  input
