Arcam AV Amplifier ALSA Control plugin
|
|
======================================
|
|
|
|
This plugin exposes the controls for an Arcam AV amplifier
|
|
(see: http://www.arcam.co.uk/) as an ALSA mixer device.
|
|
|
|
To use this plugin you will need to connect the amplifier
|
|
to the PC using an RS-232 null-modem cable and use the
|
|
following ALSA configuration:
|
|
|
|
ctl.arcam_av {
|
|
type arcam_av
|
|
port /dev/ttyS0
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
The "port" parameter is required and indicates the serial
|
|
port to be used to communicate with the amplifier. There is
|
|
an optional "zone" parameter, which accepts a value of
|
|
either "1" (default) or "2", that indicates which of the
|
|
amplifiers zones should be controlled.
|
|
|
|
NB: You must ensure that any user accounts that are to use
|
|
this plugin have both read and write access rights for the
|
|
configured serial port.
|
|
|
|
This plugin was developed and tested using an Arcam AVR 300
|
|
amplifier. I believe most Arcam amplifiers use a sufficiently
|
|
similar control system to be compatible with this plugin but
|
|
your mileage may vary.
