BirdNet-Pi: streaming the microphone

This is about audio streaming from my system's mic.

I wanted to use AI to do all the thinking & lead me through the config.

But it didn't turn out to be so simple.

Increasing the VOLUME in Linux

One annoying characteristic of Lubuntu in particular (and I suspect Linux in general) is that the playback volume is often too quiet, especially on laptops.

This problem is due to differences in audio recording levels, and is most noticeable when listening to audio via a web browser (e.g. watching a video).

Having put up with this for years, today is the day I feel I need to take some action.
