[PD] Stream phone call to pd?

[katja]

Hello Sebastian,

Couple of years ago I tried to use a bluetooth stereo device for
wireless monitoring in Pd. Nice thing about OSX is you can create an
'Aggregated Device' in 'Audio MIDI Setup' to include the bluetooth
stereo to the regular sound card and use the extra channels in Pd.
However, I soon found that bluetooth stereo had over half a second
latency, so it was not useful for my purpose of monitoring. Besides
that, bluetooth audio pairing was really a pain in OSX (back then at
least).

Another thing, when connecting a phone as bluetooth device to MacBook,
I see the following services: Dial-up Networking, Human interface
device, OBEX File Transfer, OBEX Object Push. None of these makes the
phone available as an extra audio interface. No way to capture it's
audio in Pd, like it can be done with bluetooth headsets.

With WIFI-enabled cell phones there may be better possibilities, using
Skype or similar, and route audio to Pd with Jack or Soundflower.

I'm working on an art installation which requires the interception of phone conversations to be sent to my macbook and manipulated in Pd. Willing participants would connect their phones (via bluetooth?) to my computer and all audio would be streamed to my laptop in real time and routed into Pd. I realize one could just connect their phones to their laptops via an 8th inch TRS cable and an audio interface... but the idea is to make this connection wirelessly.
