Now all we need to be able to do is create a true white noise source.
Probably the best way to achieve this is to get a computer with a good
software random number generator to produce random numbers and output them
from a soundcard :).

Thanks,

Certaily the white noise generators on most PC soundcards don't really use random data. For truly random data, the best source is quantum effects (it is sort of possible to count individual photons / electrons with the right equipment - but it don't come cheap). Maybe you could input the discussions on this list into your RNG as a source of entropy ;)
