You could "apt-get install randomsound" on your own machine (or with a
USB device you think might be an option), audit it, and report your
findings :)  It doesn't need to be a Freedombox prototype to verify that
the software is doing a reasonable thing.

If it does work, and your audit writeup is straightforward, then someone
who has the specific hardware in question can try to replicate it.

thanks for pushing on this!
