From the project
OSHW: Automatic audio input switcher based on audio activity
Introduction ------------ With vintage amplifiers, you have limited input switching capabilities. And they are all manual. This projects aims to solve this problem.
I have an old kenwood KA-4002 (http://www.hifivintage.eu/product.php?id_product=476) which I love.
So, my solution to this problem, automatic audio input switcher. Basically, the system will detect which audio input has a signal, and switch to it using a solid state MUX.
