Automated External Storage

[WaaromZoMoeilijk]

Augment the storage subsystem to determine all connected USB sticks, and then once those sticks or mount points are tallied, tee any recordings to all of them. Be reluctant to format the stick, but if it's inserted and has no partition table, or appears to be empty (like, factory formatted), then consider this as a sign that the stick is unused as of yet and then format it accordingly (perhaps xfs). If there's an error with the stick, you can include the single beep for warning and then skip that USB stick (logging the error)

• Let the pipe be augmented briefly, too. Not only to encode the input stream via Opus (opusenc) but also to encrypt to a fixed GPG public key and then to add parity (vdmfec or rsbep), followed by a "split" to write a new file, say for example every 4MB (that way, if there's a disk corruption or unexpected powerout, partial stream is still available even if the last file is corrupted). For overkill, after a stream file is written you can consider the par2 command which processes a whole file and not a stream; it can add for example an additional 10% redundancy for recovery. Because of the compression and encryption, not losing a bit is important because the stream could be corrupted if there is a lost bit

Storage no problem.

Pipe, will require some investigation since the combined encoding/compressing/encrypting of the stream is rather new to me. Lets have this a first assignment to figure out, after the base image is up.

USB-*.sh scripts provide this functionality and calls audio.sh when a new usb is inserted.
