Interupting Raduga
Short of having to design a program with the SDK kit, is it posible to have an external source interupt the playlist to take a live event? I know I can do this externally with a relay on the audio output, but that sounds pretty crude. Has somebody written such a routine? This feature would be handy to have so you could take over programming by remote control using DTMF tones or other cue tones. For instance, you could use a cell phone to do "cheap and dirty" remotes, or it could be used with a weather radio to interupt programming in case of an alert situation. There are some external boxes on the market that do this by inserting them in the audio chain, but I think it could be accomplished with a dry contact relay on the game port of the computer. Any ideas?
