I've always wondered, if you started recording audio, can you treat the least significant bit as random? Perhaps as an alternative to a real hardware random number generator?
I gotta think there are going to be some periodics in there that will be toggling the LSB. Like some hum from some device far away will be at the right tiny amplitude to toggle it in a predictable way. Also the ADC hardware could concievably get stuck.
The whole system breaks because someone didn't set up their pulseaudio correctly?
and what if you need 1TB of random data? With 48kHz audio you would be waiting 5000 years haha. 1MB is still more than a day
I think you dropped the "k" in "kHz" in your calculations.
