He did't say it was something that never could be done from windows... he was just stating that he found something cool that he could do with a live linux cd that he just couldn't get working in windows at the time. I think it's cool. If we slammed everyone for cool ideas they came up with, then nobody would feel the need to share cool stuff that they figured out.
Nice tip Jeremy PS: It can be done under windows by unmuting the mic on the playback volume settings. Not that I was going to be a smartass and say that... he wasn't asking how to do it in windows, he was sharing a cool tip.
