PCP 3.02 works really well. I have upgraded all four of my RPi players to 3.02. Well worth it. Thanks guys.
There is something I would love to see on PCP. It is this. Enable three RPi GPIO pins to give these functions: 1). Powered on 2). Switched on 3). Playing music The first is easy and already exists. Pins 1 & 2 give +5V when the RPi is powered up. I know #2 can be done because my HiFiBerry has a little green LED that switches on (+3.1V) when the LMS On button is pressed and it goes out again when I switch Off. This function works from Port 900 on the web interface from Windows 10 and from Squeeze Ctrl. #3 is what's missing. If this could be provided then simply pressing Play either in Squeeze Ctrl or in Windows could be mmade to click a relay and power up my amplifier. Equally pausing the music could be arranged, after a suitable delay (3 -5 minutes) to drop the relay and power off the amps. I have already implemented this in hardware http://www.schematics.com/site_media/media/project/previews/10108-audio-controlled_switch_2x.png and it works tolerably well. The amp has an annoying tendency to swich off in quiet passages of music when playing at low levels. If this could be implemented in PCP, I think it would be really useful.
