Using the Pandora as speakers.

[(naw)mcx]

Seeing as the audio jack doubles up as a mic port, is there anyway I could plug my MP3 player in using a 3.5mm male to male, and get the sound to play out the speakers? I'm using the latest release of the latest hotfix.

Please don't quote me on this, but as far as I know there's no way of doing that...but like I said please don't quote me on that.

cat /dev/<mic device, can't remember it> > /dev/mixer(or similar, the same place you would cat /dev/urandom to get really minimalist music out)

is the MIC in on that port Mono or stereo? if it's Mono then it would be less ideal. Another possibility is the EXT port has stereo line in if someone could make a cable that could utilize that.

Can't for the life of me work out what the mic devices is in /dev! Any one know?

 

[darfgarf]

seem to remember last time i did anything like this it was either something like mic0, or was accessed just by reading /dev/mixer or /dev/pcm, and output was writing to thos


btw no responsibility if it fails and blows up or guarantee that it'll work, last thing i recorded sound on this way was an old pentium 4, should all be the same though

cat /dev/dsp > /dev/dsp

that's the badger

You could probably plug your mp3 player into the usb and play mp3s from it that way?

Nah - I've got a ZuneHD. And the

cat /dev/dsp > /dev/dsp

never worked for me

I read audacity was ported. you could load that and see if it has the audio passthru option (monitor source or other wording?) Seems to me I did that by accident once, but not sure if it was Audacity I did that in. I don't have my Panda yet so I don't know what options are available.


Edit: Sorry, just tried it on my PC version and it had to be recording for this to work. But in a pinch if you need to play a song to someone, it just might be enough, but you'd have to have a pretty big card for recording to do any lengthy playback!

huh! the pandora does not have the best speakers in the world but it does have great audio circuity. Crazy


I guess this is one of those "because it´s there" questions.

 

[darfgarf]

init audio


record a packet of audio


output recorded packet


should work, probably already been thrown together by someone if you go search

Hmm, perhaps somebody could assemble a program for playing stuff back? I like Gfrancisdev's idea.
