Very interesting,

The trick for me is to find a source of raw 16-bit little-endian PCM
that I could feed on over to a STDIN. With that I think I could spend
some time and get something together.

Maybe an option to starting peep that would stream to STDOUT? Or can I
read from a sound device using dd or the like and pick up what you are
sending to it in a format as described above? Or is there a hook in the
broadcasting stuff somewhere where I could kick audio out? If you
provide the output I'd be willing to see where I could take it :)

I'm WILDLY out of my element on the sound side of things under linux,
and not that familiar with peep, aka the silly questions.
