======================================

This plugin exposes the controls for an Arcam AV amplifier
|
|
Packit |
675970 |
(see: http://www.arcam.co.uk/) as an ALSA mixer device.
|
|

To use this plugin you will need to connect the amplifier
|
|
Packit |
675970 |
to the PC using an RS-232 null-modem cable and use the
|
|
Packit |
675970 |
following ALSA configuration:
|
|
Packit |
675970 |
|
|
Packit |
675970 |
ctl.arcam_av {
|
|
Packit |
675970 |
type arcam_av
|
|
Packit |
675970 |
port /dev/ttyS0
|
|
Packit |
675970 |
}
|
|
Packit |
675970 |
|
|

The "port" parameter is required and indicates the serial
|
|
Packit |
675970 |
port to be used to communicate with the amplifier. There is
|
|
Packit |
675970 |
an optional "zone" parameter, which accepts a value of
|
|
Packit |
675970 |
either "1" (default) or "2", that indicates which of the
|
|
Packit |
675970 |
amplifiers zones should be controlled.

NB: You must ensure that any user accounts that are to use
|
|
Packit |
675970 |
this plugin have both read and write access rights for the
|
|
Packit |
675970 |
configured serial port.

This plugin was developed and tested using an Arcam AVR 300
|
|
Packit |
675970 |
amplifier. I believe most Arcam amplifiers use a sufficiently
|
|
Packit |
675970 |
similar control system to be compatible with this plugin but
|
|
Packit |
675970 |
your mileage may vary.
