Yeah it would be fun to play with...

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

Wait until you find out about Julia, the typesystem is brilliant. It encourages this kind of thing to allow you to give more info about what the number represents. It ensures there are no downsides because you can define functions to run on families of types.

Yeah but have you ever worn a hearing aid? My wife has a very expensive and up to date one and there is so much white noise. She can play music on it but can't hear well enough in that ear to get any use out of that. I just don't feel like they will ever overlap that much since they have to cater to people who are quite deaf.
