You should send the link of a demonstration, how you wish to be able to
use a vocoder, but only this mail.

I know what you wish to be able to do with Linux and I'm sure Rui knows
it too, but perhaps you should send more details to LAD.

Full ACK regarding to your wish (because I know what possibilities you
need, but your needs are not clear by this email, IIRC you once send a
very good YouTube example to another list, unfortunately I need to
restore the mails, because a HDD is broken, so please post it here too).
