It might be easier to repurpose the guts of an old mouse. Multiple buttons and position encoders (if you could think of a use for them), plus a ready-made bus (PS/2 or USB) to connect to the PC. > Anyone know a good scriptable wav recording/playback app I can put on > the box (maybe command line oriented)? The ALSA command-line utilities "arecord" and "aplay" have always worked well for me, and they should be standard fare in any reasonable distribution. > presumed the ability to detect 'keydown' and 'keyup', or an > application that can alternate 'play while key held down' with 'record > while key held down with max clip length' behavior. I don't know of any existing software that does this off-hand, but it should be easy enough to implement as a shell script. "arecord" accepts an optional max duration after which it will automatically cease recording. -- Paul _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
