.IP "\fBis-muted\fR"
Check if a device is muted. ponymix will exit zero if muted, and non-zero
otherwise.

+These commands are specific to devices which refer to streams of applications.
+For these commands, \fIsink\fR and \fIsource\fR are synonymous with \fIsink-input\fR

.IP "\fBmove\fR \fIDEVICE\fR"
-Move a device's stream to the given device, specified using the \fI--devtype\fR
-and \fI--device\fR flags. Note that a source output can only be moved to
-another source, and a sink input can only be moved to another sink.
