[TriEmbed] Voice recognition on rPi

[Phillip Rhodes]

Just to follow up... my little cheap USB microphone showed up, and I
just got done doing some experimenting with it.  I was able to record
sound on the pi using arecord and play it back with aplay, so I've at
least proven the hardware works.   And for a microphone that costs
less than $5.00, the quality was surprisingly good.

If anybody wants one of these microphones, here's the link:

Next step now is to get Sphinx or whatever installed on the pi and see
if I can actually recognize something....
