[LAU] Help with jack-volume please

[Athanasios Silis]

Just for completeness I will also add here the possibility to use
jack-mixer. Yes it is python based and has a gui but the core is a  C
application that you can use directly. So mixing can be done there.
To control the input channels you will need to use midi signals, but it is
possible to generate those from a bash script (this may give you some ideas
http://linux-audio.4202.n7.nabble.com/how-can-I-send-a-midi-command-from-bash-through-jack-to-my-HW-controller-td104387.html
).
So bash could then be used to orchestrate the channel volume fading and
triggering the sound files. At the end of playing the stream execution in
the script will continue to increase the volume again or unmute the AES
channel.

Best regards,
Athanasios
