The sole purpose of this code so far is to plug into my shairport device to turn the hifi on and off in response to the audio signal being received.
$ ln -s ./stub.py on
$ ln -s ./stub.py off
$ shairport-sync -a wifihifi -B $(pwd)/on -E $(pwd)/off
Given the current implementation of shairport-sync's B and E flags this (a) means a small initial part of the audio is chopped off and (b) without intervention turns off every time the audio stops (even between tracks if the delay is too great - Amazon Music on iOS lock screen, I'm looking at you...). A simple resettable timer in the shell suffices for now, but I'm assuming the long-term best solution is to run a PCLK daemon which would start a timer for such shutdown requests.
Samples are now provided in the airplay-scripts subdirectory.
My TV speakers aren't the best so it's nice to be able to supplement the audio with the hifi. Apparently TVs got smart while I wasn't looking and I can query the volume of my Panasonic TV. So the quick loop (some curl SOAP calls, some volume calls, some bash sleeps) will be in the viera-scripts subdirectory.
