Soundcard shenanigans

Hello again,
I'm still searching for exotic ways of collecting entropy for cryptographic
purposes. One idea consists of sampling the sound card. Does a python
module exist that would allow me to sample bytes directly from the
soundcard? The winssound module does not appear to permit me to do this,
and it's limited to win32. On my linux i686, I tried "cat /dev/audio" but
that didn't work either, despite the fact that the soundcard was playing at
the time :( Help and tips would be appreciated!
