Remote controlling alsa devices / alsamixer

Post by juergenmoeller »

Is it possible to remote control an alsa device's volume setting through MIDI or OSC?

It's a good question. No any known for me, but it's a field that can be filled with such app/feature.

Hm, if there's an API for controlling alsa exposed parameters, I might finally have an excuse to write something in Rust, hehe. But I'm still a noob when it comes to coding on Linux. Do you happen to know how what API to use for controlling alsa parameters?
