[linux-audio-user] Looking for howto to control audioplayer with footswitch

[Jürgen Schöneberg]

hej!

I 'm looking for a linux software to play soundfiles controlled by
a footswitch on the serial port. (just possible to control start, rewind, 
stop) .

Usually I'm using jack/ardour but haven't seen the possibility to use a 
footswitch to control the software.
 
Even a howto for using a footswitch as an input device for a perl script would 
be very helpful.

Any ideas?

thank you very much for help
cheers
Jürgen
