Nice to find some guys with the same needs :-)
Right now the microphone level is not monitored by tux itself but the
captured sound is streamed continously to the computer so it should be
possible to do whatever you imagine from the computer side.
As the ADC inside tuxaudio CPU continuously acquires the microphone
signal, I thought of computing a kind of peak signal that would be sent to
the computer each 100ms in order to get a sound level value without having
to process the audio signal itself. But the main advantage is that this
peak value could be used by the standalone behavior of tux, like flashing
the blue leds when you clap in the hands.
We're now working on the sleep and ID stuff in the firmware, that may come
next together with the improved light measurement.
