Looking at what there is currently, there doesn't seem to be any trace
of a client interface. That would suggest that it won't handle the
actual audio stream data. Of course, the project is in a *very* early
stage, so the client interface bits might get added later.

In order to replace speculation with actual facts, I'll CC Taylor Hutt,
who seems to be doing the development. Taylor, would you possibly have
time to share some information about ADHD? For convenience, here's a
link to the beginning of this thread:
