[IDEA] Customizing Volume Control Buttons

[Nikolovich]

Volume handling in moode is not really "customizable". In general volume needs to be tightly integrated with the underlying player (MPD) and audio mixer (ALSA) for maximum reliability.

Options when using an audio device with its own volume control include:

1. Set moode volume type to Fixed (0dB) and then use the audio devices remote to adjust volume

2. Calibrate overall system volume for least attenuation and then use moode volume knob to control volume
- Set audio device volume to low level
- Set moode volume to 100
- Play a track that represents what you typically listen to
- Gradually raise audio device volume to the highest you would ever listen at
- Reduce moode volume from 100 to whatever your typical listening level is
- This usually results in very little attenuation using moode volume knob

my question has certainly not been interpreted well. What I would like to do is to intervene at a low level on moode to make the volume + and - buttons do a certain action (in my case run a bash script on the raspberry). Obviously I am not asking for a release but only for an explanation of how to proceed to do this. I think that those buttons call commands on the system that modify the volume via ALSA. I would only like to modify those commands. I hope I have explained myself.
Of course ALSA will be manually set fixed to 0db following this modification
Thanks for your availability. You will soon have a new tip.
