Huzzah! - this is no longer needed because as of Audacity 3.7.9 ASIO support is built in to releases

Build your own Audacity 3.7.8 for Windows with ASIO driver support

!!Breaking news - Steinberg recently open sourced the ASIO SDK (GPLv3) so Audacity will be able to release ASIO binaries. As they are focussed on Audacity 4 it might not happen anytime soon though!!

I highly recommend you watch this video by Audacity lead Martin Keary / @Tantacrul on the plans for Audacity 4 and a tour of the recent deep, difficult engineering on 3.x.x

You might want Audacity to work with the ASIO drivers supplied with your sound devices. Commmon reasons for this are:

EMFIT Local API

There is a functional http server running on the device that can be crawled for realtime data. It runs on port 80 and uses plain http.

You will need to know the IP address if your emfit device.

For demoing / testing with a web browser there is an auto-refreshing page that contains only HR and RR values, it’s name is shortdvm.htm

Converting Audio into Different Formats / Sample Rates

Minimal example: transcode from MP3 to WMA:
ffmpeg -i input.mp3 output.wma

You can get the list of supported formats with:
ffmpeg -formats

You can get the list of installed codecs with:

	This is an example of a team work of two OpenAI Assistants. They have been given a task to review a test of a new employee candidate. The 'Reviewer' (aka Junior hiring manager) is given the instructions to review the test, and the 'Supervisor' (aka Senior hiring manager) is given the instructions to guide the Reviewer throug the process, to ask him to review section by section, and to check his work. User and Reviewer only talk to Supervisor and not to each other.

	As of Jan 2024, it is not perfect and the AI Agents do make mistakes and still require human intervention to complete the task correctly. Howewer this approach significantly reduces the number of interventions required and provides better results because of self-check. The downside is the number of tokens required is several times greater than with a single agent approach.

	The instructions are very custom and thus not included. But here is an example:

	```supervisor_instructions.md
	You are a senior hiring manager of a te
