From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Any simple CLI method for playing a sound over mic in voice chats? (lemm.ee)

I've got this idea in my head that I want a tofi based sound board that I can summon on a button press (and maybe fuzzy find through)

Should be fairly simple to do with the way tofi works to make the interface, but as far as I can find there's not a quick and easy way to mix sounds in with mic input using pactl

Is there any single line solution for playing a sound over mic (like a soundboard would) anyone can think of or do I need to mess around with virtual audio devices to achieve this

All true. It seems obscure and niche enough to not be a scam. There's only a single contributor and based on his activity elsewhere it seems like it was probably just a passion project.

Oh I have no doubt it's legitimate, my concern is just that it's unmaintained

I'd take that bet, but I often am relying on packages that are significantly out of date as a professional Android developer. 2 years is mild.

There's no obvious rootkit unless the developer put it in and if it works with your version of Pulse then I wouldn't see what the issue could be. It's mostly a front end access to your Pulse where you're making and mixing digital.

Security consciousness is good but I think you can trust this one.

But I'm also just a stranger on the Internet ❤️

I'm not that anal about my security but it's a very trivial thing and if I ended up getting any of my network compromised to make a soundboard there are several people in my life who would shoot me
