Support Audio Input (bidirectional audio)

[dodds-cc]

First of all, great work.

Audio output is working great, I quite was surprised at how well it works but I was wondering if its possible to funnel audio into the box, rather than just out.

I'm a WebAudio dev so could definitely help out getting out into the RTC stream from the browser, but I'm not sure of the setup required on the linux side. From what I can see the file at https://github.com/m1k1o/neko/blob/master/.docker/base/default.pa seems to create the virtual output and I presume the server forward this down through the RTC.

Does anyone have any ideas how might I begin to add bidirectional audio support?

An example might help: Imagine I'd like to record some audio from my microphone into an online daw running inside Neko. It's not quite what I have in mind but hopefully demonstrates what would be required.

Hi @dodds-cc, we are currently in a proccess of merging / rewriting demodesk/neko and this neko. Demodesk fork already supports audio input, so oyu can wait until the merger is finished or you can try it out there.

Currently it's only for a single audio source, maybe it can be extended for multiple inputs. And we use pulseaudio maybe we could migrate to pipewire.

Thanks @m1k1o, I just stumbled across the demodesk repo before reading your reply too, it sounds perfect for what I need.
