Description-en: Command line Diamond Rio MP3 player controller
rio is a Diamond Rio MP3 CLI controller program
The home website is http://www.world.co.uk/sba
This program supports file uploads and downloads, on both
the Classic Rio and the 64 Meg Rio, and supports plug in cards.
.
The default port is 0x378, if your rio is plugged into a
different port, you will need to use the -p option.
.
This program directly controls various IOports. The program need to
be run as root, or setuid root.
.
If you execute the following line as root after package installation,
the program will be setuid root.
.
chmod 4755 /usr/bin/rio
.
Do NOT do that unless you understand the security implications of a
setuid binary that can "easily" overwrite any system file.
