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?
I don't have a howto, but some thoughts:
reading the serial port is probably provided by the /dev/ttyS* device files.. read up on
the serial tty driver in linux. Then i suppose you can use std file processing in perl [i
dont use perl, but i heard it's rather complete :)]. The last thing you need is a file
player which can be remote controlled. Either just launch aplay processes from the perl
script, or use xmms remote controlling for example..
