Hi all,

Its probably my own stupidity but I'm wondering how best to handle the fact 
that in Automatic mode Rivendell cycles your sound card outputs.

Hopefully I can explain this better with an example.

I have 2 Faders set up with GPIO macros.  When Fader 1 is live, it triggers a 
play next on Output 1 (PN 1 1 1!).  Fader 2 = PN Output 2 (PN 1 2 1!).

This is all well and good until you get towards the end of the broadcast day 
(or any section where you want automatic mode for any length of time).

As a presenter I finish off my link, "hope you enjoyed the show up next is the 
greatest song of all time for your enjoyment, Rebecca Black - Friday"

Then I lift Fader one and turn it on which triggers my play out on Fader one.

I finish it off by selecting Automatic and close the studio down to go home.

The excellent Rebecca Black finishes several bliss filled minutes later and The 
Firm Star Trekkin' automatically starts but Rivendell picks Output 2 to play 
this on which still has its fader down and off.

But the screams of "just turn the fader on when you leave you ignorant English 
luddite" causes problems when you have GPIO on fader starts.  To get automation 
to work properly, I need to lift Fader 1 and hit on so that Rebecca Black 
starts (but leave it low level enough that nobody can hear it).  Select 
Automatic mode, then tell my awesome listener that I hope they enjoyed the show 
and that I'll leave them with The Firm Star Trekkin.

With that playing automatic mode will cut out the glorious vocal stylings of 
our lovely Rebecca and I can lift the fader to the normal 0 db level ready for 
a night of automated play out.

So thats my long winded way of saying, is there a way of making automatic mode 
only use the first play out from the sound card?  Or is there a better macro to 
use than just PN?  (I tried setting Airplay to only use sound card output 0 but 
that prevented my macro from forcing output 1, it just played on 0 each time).

Any info would be appreciated (but I get the impression I need to tweak the 
code),

Wayne
