Need to make EXT. Volume Control

[ElmoTheGreat]

Hi,

I run a computer DJ setup, using Winamp (currently v. 2.xx) as the main player. It's a completely homemade setup, that runs all audio sources through the computer (needs to be that way for recording purposes).

What I've been trying to figure out is a way to control winamp's main volume control via the serial port using a standard POT. I've browsed through all the controller plugins on this site, but nothing seems to fit the bill. One looked rather promising (uICE), which appears to have the COM elements I need. But not being an electronics major, I'm not sure how to build the corresponding serial component; or if i'm even looking at the right software.

If anyone knows how to set something like this up, please let me know. It can be a real pain adjusting winamp's little volume slider with a mouse (especially if the beer is free). :-)

Thanks.
