So I'm wondering if there is a way to control external equipment through Squeezeslave/Squeezelite running on/via a Raspberry PI.
For example when changing the volume in LMS or <insert your favorite LMS mobile app here>, instead of changing the softplayer/device volume it would change the external amplifier volume. Same for toggling the softplayer's power... perhaps trigger a relay via the PIs GPIO to control power to the external device. I know back in the day the hardware players had different ways of achieving these things. Has anybody done anything like this already? I'm wondering if perhaps the simplest way is to interface the softplayer with LIRC to send IR commands. I have a PI running right now with LIRC and I can do everything described above using a remote pc or mobile app to tell LIRC what commands to send. It works great. It would just be nice to have it seamlessly integrated with LMS somehow.
