I’ve got this idea in my head that I want a tofi based sound board that I can summon on a button press (and maybe fuzzy find through)

Should be fairly simple to do with the way tofi works to make the interface, but as far as I can find there’s not a quick and easy way to mix sounds in with mic input using pactl

Is there any single line solution for playing a sound over mic (like a soundboard would) anyone can think of or do I need to mess around with virtual audio devices to achieve this

    Fair

    But also it shouldn’t need any network access. The code is open source and you can look through it if you’ve got the expertise.

      I don’t have the expertise to spot if someone’s able to pull some dark wizard shit and encode a binary in audio and get it to execute it or something

      Seriously though I know enough to know I won’t spot some obscure bad practice in someone else’s code base, even without network access if someone gets onto my system some other way it could give them a route to escalate

        All true. It seems obscure and niche enough to not be a scam. There’s only a single contributor and based on his activity elsewhere it seems like it was probably just a passion project.

            I’d take that bet, but I often am relying on packages that are significantly out of date as a professional Android developer. 2 years is mild.

            There’s no obvious rootkit unless the developer put it in and if it works with your version of Pulse then I wouldn’t see what the issue could be. It’s mostly a front end access to your Pulse where you’re making and mixing digital.

            Security consciousness is good but I think you can trust this one.

            But I’m also just a stranger on the Internet ❤️
