  Description     : feed the /dev/random device with entropy-data read from an audio device

This program feeds the /dev/random device with entropy-data read from an audio device.
The audio-data is not copied as is but first 'de-biased' and analysed to determine how much bits of entropy is in it.
This program is usefull for systems doing lots of cryptographic stuff like VPN endpoints or GPG clients.
