- 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.
