1 Title: An Open Approach to Whole-House Audio
4 During the construction of our new house, a proprietary platform
5 for whole-house audio was proposed by our builder. Unable to
6 find a suitable open alternative off-the-shelf, Bdale set out to
7 design and build the required hardware and software. The
8 results include an open hardware USB to 30 watt per channel
9 stereo audio module, and enhancements (we're still working on)
10 to enable Mopidy to manage multiple simultaneous audio streams
11 each controlled by different users in the home. This session
12 will explore the design of our system, the new hardware module,
13 and our progress with and remaining challenges adapting the
14 software to our needs.
