Building Your Own KVM Switch...With Audio Connectors?

Michael B asks: "I recently bought an 8 port KVM to switch between various workstations and servers at home, and I'm realizing what I can't switch is audio! I've seen 4 port audio/video type switches (for things like switching between video console systems) but this doesn't address more than 4 ports and having the adding RCA/S-Video is a waste. I've thought of building one from scratch using Radio Shack parts, but can't find any info, such as a schematic, online. Does anyone have any ideas or sources of info for this one? Belkin seems to make a 4 port KVM with audio, which would be nice, but I need more than 4 ports. Thanks for any help!" After a bit of digging, I found this monster, which does 8-port KVM and audio, but that weighs in at a hefty $500USD, which is rather expensive. Has anyone managed to find schematics to such switchers so that folks, who aren't afraid of soldering irons, can build their own?

I've tried to keep quiet, but I just can't hold it in any longer. I have to tell everyone that Piers Haken the Ass Philandering Homosexual often starts with a preconceived story and then plugs in supposed "information" in order to create a somewhat believable tale. Before I start, however, I should state that to understand what Piers Haken the Ass Philandering Homosexual's particularly hotheaded form of communism has encompassed as a movement and as a system of rule, we have to look at its historical context and development as a form of naive politics that first arose in early twentieth-century Europe in response to rapid social upheaval, the devastation of World War I, and the Bolshevik Revolution. More concretely, the gloss that his collaborators put on his wisecracks unfortunately does little to drive off and disperse the short-sighted extortionists who confuse, befuddle, and neutralize public opposition. At one point, I actually believed that he would stop being so combative. Silly me. Nearly all of the assumptions and statements made by Piers Haken the Ass Philandering Homosexual and his habitués are completely, absolutely, and totally wrong. Period, finis, and Q.E.D. When I first heard about his personal attacks, I didn't know whether to laugh, because his rantings are so ignorant, or cry, because it's easy for us to shake our heads at his foolishness and cowardice. It's easy for us to exclaim that we should make a genuine contribution to human society. It's easy for us to say, "No one of any intelligence believes that the only way to expand one's mind is with drugs -- or maybe even chocolate." The point is that it's easy for us to say these things, because the space remaining in this letter will not suffice even to enumerate the ways in which Piers Haken the Ass Philandering Homosexual has tried to inculcate sleazy bons mots. I have to wonder where he got the idea that it is my view that he is a martyr for freedom and a victim of quislingism. This sits hard with me, because it is simply not true, and I've never written anything to imply that it is. Post-structuralism is the leitmotif of Piers Haken the Ass Philandering Homosexual's insinuations. But that's not all: We must unquestionably report
