This sounds like a really interesting idea, sort of like the 
CedarTech sound input device from a few years ago. I'd be
willing to do the software end of things, but I might need
some help with the ADB interface. I'll order the documentation

for an AppleScriptable CD Player which could be adapted as a
front end to this sort of thing.
