Could you build this?
Partial A soundboard UI and file playback are easy to vibe-code, but a native virtual microphone on PipeWire needs low-latency real-time audio graph work and careful system integration.
What it would actually take: The stack would be a Linux app using libpipewire (or a Rust binding) to create a virtual source node, with a real-time audio thread that mixes clips into that source. The hard parts are stable low-latency buffering, handling PipeWire graph and device changes, and packaging across distributions, which takes systems and audio expertise to get right.
