There's not enough entropy (ie noise) in my server environment for audio-based entropy sources to work. I found that surprising, but that's what audio-entropyd determined.
I simply don't have any meaningful source of entropy available, which is why I'm resorting to hacking together some sort of USB-based RNG.

Yes, just using it as an ADC.
