Asus WL500GP audio hack
posted Jun 15th 2008 5:10pm by Eliot Phillipsfiled under: misc hacks
The Asus WL500GP wireless router runs Linux and has two USB ports. [equinoxfr] wanted to install audio support internally to the router though (translated). Luckily, it uses a VIA VT6212 4port USB controller. So, he was able to wire two more internal ports. A Brando USB soundcard is plugged into one of those ports and wired to an external headphone jack. He wanted dual RCA connectors, but they just wouldn’t fit. The router is running OpenWRT Kamikaze. MPD is used to serve music with the wymypy frontend since it has its own lightweight webserver.
wow this is cool, using Kismet with sound on this thing would be even cooler :-)
I simply love this router! ;-)
