    add draft ALSA input plugin · 35f85ddd
    Steven O'Brien authored
    I've created an elementary input plugin that plays sound from the
    soundcard, so you can use MPD to listen to anything connected to the
    line-in jack, or to Video4Linux FM radio cards that send audio through
    the soundcard.  There has been a small number of posts here in the
    past requesting line-in input, so here is a first, simplistic stab at
    it.
    
    The patch adds a new sheme, alsa://, which causes mpd to play data
    read directly from a souncdard.  It defaults to hw:0,0, but you can
    pass any ALSA device name in the URI.  So, using mpc for example:
    
     mpc add alsa://
     mpc play
    
    will play from device hw:0,0.
    
    To use a diffferent device:
    
     mpc add alsa://hw:1,0
