VoiceBridge: Remote Mic Passthrough

Users who depend on remote desktop tools such as Rustdesk find voice dictation impossible on headless or Wayland systems because these tools lack audio‑input support. VoiceBridge adds a secure, low‑latency microphone passthrough layer that plugs into any remote‑access workflow, eliminating the need for cumbersome hardware hacks and enabling seamless voice input on the remote machine.

Comment on: RustDesk now supports true unattended remote access on Wayland

Unfortunately, no, it's not working. I use Rustdesk all the time. I've found a way, but it's really stupid. I have a GL.iNet Comet to manage my headless machine. That unit supports microphone passthrough. I send my mac's mic through that to ubuntu. It's an awful solution hah, but it works. I'm able to use dictation through that on Ubuntu. I didn't buy the comet specifically for mic use. I found out after the fact that it was able to do it.

Comment on: RustDesk now supports true unattended remote access on Wayland

This depends on libdrmtap "A (LLM AI coded) zero-dependency C library for DRM/KMS framebuffer capture on Linux" https://github.com/fxd0h/libdrmtap which doesn't actually seem to give remote access so much as remote access to the screen visuals. The other hard parts of remote access on the various waylands are still left up to more proprietary, per wayland compositor, custom extensions not in wayland core or exposed by the kernel. That is, not universal.
