On the subject of VoIP & Linux Audio programs, i've just had a thought.
Should there exist a robust JACK-compatible VoIP system, a good next
step would be to create a script facilitating 'double-enders' as used
in broadcasting.
A double-ender avoids the low-quality phone sound in an interview
where the participants are in different locations: two (or more)
people chat on a phone while also recording themselves (typically on
something high quality, portable, and entrenched in the industry, like
a DAT/MD) - the interviewee's DAT/etc. is then mailed to the
producer/interviewer, who edits it together with the recording of his
questions.
I'd think it would be fairly easy to set up a shell/python script or
the like to start the VoIP program and timemachine (or the like),
route the interviewee's audio to both, and automatically send the
recording to the producer after the call is completed.
An extension of this is: rather than a producer needing to hire a
freelancer local to the interviewee to trudge over with a recorder,
the producer could simply send the interviewee a live cd tailored to
the purpose. this might be limited by ease of network/audio setup for
the layperson, though this in turn could be fixed if low-latency audio
could break the blood-brain barrier of virtual machines.
and, at this point, i've gone too far in my late morning coffee-fueled
rantings and machinations, and i thank you for the opportunity.
