Perhaps you didn't realize that most people don't even want speakers to emit sound 24x7 in their electronics.
But if you do want to do both, the basic process isn't THAT amazingly complex. The ambient sound will be the difference between the signal from the preamp and the signal on speaker wire +/- some amplifier noise and gain adjustments.
Op-amps aren't all that exotic.
If you have the digital output available, you can skip all of that and just send the results of an AtoD converter with the speaker wire as an input and sort it all out in post-processing.
Your lack of imagination isn't a failure of understanding on my part.
None of the municipal ISPs I am aware of are in any way mandated monopolies. Others are welcome to come in and compete, no guns involved. Many were set up at arm's length, expected to pay back their startup costs. In many cases they happened after the area ISPs already stated flatly that they would NOT service the area. So it's not like they were clamoring to compete. If there was a gun, it was wielded by the invisible hand.
Interestingly, they sued after having refused to service an area, presumably because they wanted fallow ground they could expand into one day at their leisure.
I have lived in places where there was an electric co-op. There was no competition there. I have no idea if it was illegal to compete or if they couldn't beat the price and service provided by the co-op, but either way, they weren't there.
I figured since you are here on/., you might have read the several articles documenting that. I cannot be responsible for your failing memory. You might want to see a doctor, it may still be reversible.
Apparently not. Even where freely permitted, ISPs have been shown to carefully divide things up down to the level of which side of the street you live on.
Also making crooked deals with apartment and condo complexes.
Not to mention making it clear to townships that they had no plans to provide high-speed internet but then suing when the township decides to do it for themselves after a democratic referendum. Then they lobbied hard to get states to ban municipal internet even when the people voted for it directly.
Yes, those too. Along with the tiny little hole in the camera slide.
At one time, I would have dismissed that as paranoid ranting, but given how much "ranting from the tin-foil hat brigade" has been proven recently, it's not so far fetched anymore.
Local governments, you must mean those things made up of the people in the community joined together ( in theory) for the common good? A sort of co-op like thingy?
Actually, they'd have lawyered him to death over right of way as soon as the first cable appeared. That is if they didn't beat him to death with franchise agreements first.
Don't worry, by the time the patent runs out, it will be banned because it occasionally causes temporary excessive itching of the little finger, but the new just patented formulation will be available (to the 10 people who can afford it).
George Washington took colchicine yet there is now a marketing exclusive on it raising the price of treatment from $4/month to $500. People with asthma used to use cheap generic albuterol inhalers. Now they have to buy them on the black market if they can't afford $100/each.
Well, most of the doctors in socialized systems got their training in their home country with the intent of practicing in their home country, so apparently they will pursue the same level of skill. The sales of equipment and drugs to countries with socialized medicine are voluntary. They choose to say yes and take their fair profit. If big pharma decides that only rapacious profits will do, we'll have to socialize that as well.
Of course, what good is it if they develop a magic pill that cures cancer, the common cold, and male pattern baldness after one dose if there are only 10 people in the world who can afford it?
No, it doesn't. Not in the U.S. anyway. It costs twice as much as anywhere else and ends in worse outcomes. Even simple routine care has a tendency to turn into a Kafkaesque nightmare for the patient.
If it gets any stranger, we'll start seeing billing model simulators that iteratively run through the billing process on a supercomputer so the billing person can determine which of 3 to 5 different but equally justifiable billings will result in the best payout for them with the least money out of pocket for the patient.
That, in turn, is caused by the lack of a social safety net. For the patient that has a negative medical outcome, even an unavoidable one, their choice is die in the street, take a lifetime vow of poverty for themselves and their family, or sue.
That's great if you're a zebra, but most patients are horses and a good doctor can quickly do a clinical diagnosis that separates patients into "fluids and rest, take aspirin", "infection, take antibiotic", and "this could be serious, you need a detailed workup".
Sadly, more and more that step gets skipped and all patients end up treated as the third category where $500 in tests later they are told they have a cold.
Not really, no. Countries with socialized medicine use the same drugs, the same machines and doctors with the same skills. They just bargain harder to get decent prices on in all. Some wealthy people do choose to fly to the U.S. but that's more about getting to the front of the line faster for elective procedures than anything else.
But even if you're correct, healthcare you can't afford might as well not exist. In that sense, the U.S. has practically non-existent healthcare.

Why haven't you done it already?
He's saying that you as an American citizen who is not in Brazil are not under the jurisdiction of Brazilian justice system.

Coming soon to a theater near you: "The Wolf of The Wolf of Wall Street".

So follow the money back.
Arrests for what?
For looking at a page that offers magnet links that you might or might not access?
So why can't they arrest the scam callers impersonating the IRS and demanding money? Fraud is illegal in most countries.
Of course not. The further removed the representatives are from the population they represent, the less likely they are to do their job properly.
I figured since you are here on /., you might have read the several articles documenting that. I cannot be responsible for your failing memory. You might want to see a doctor, it may still be reversible.
There's nothing expensive or special about it. I do it all the time using the highly esoteric method of plugging headphones into the microphone jack.
So apparently we need to quit being chumps and socialize to spread those costs more fairly.
Apparently not. Even where freely permitted, ISPs have been shown to carefully divide things up down to the level of which side of the street you live on.

True, that just leaves the microphone.
One wonders if that limited capacity includes the ability to make a phone call.

Consider it a cautionary tale for when your politicians start singing the praises of privatization.
That's great if you're a zebra, but most patients are horses and a good doctor can quickly do a clinical diagnosis that separates patients into "fluids and rest, take aspirin", "infection, take antibiotic", and "this could be serious, you need a detailed workup".
Sadly, more and more that step gets skipped and all patients end up treated as the third category where $500 in tests later they are told they have a cold.
Sounds like you don't understand that most people have no way of knowing if the physical switch shuts off the camera or just the little red light.
Not really, no. Countries with socialized medicine use the same drugs, the same machines and doctors with the same skills. They just bargain harder to get decent prices on in all.
