If you're going to do it by sampling the noise in an audio card, you better analyze the output to check if it is indeed crypto-strong randomness. Your sampling module might need to do some math work before giving those bits to the entropy pool. And do _not_ overestimate the randomness of your noise. That will weaken your random generator a lot. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
