Thanks JMills!

Holy crap, it works! Forgive my linux ignorance, but does this mean there actually is a driver, or is this built-in demo a low-level hack?

How did you discover this?

Well... "sorta". :-)

Basically, what you're doing there is you're talking to the audio hardware directly, and telling it to flip a transistor-level switch to:

1) Enable the microphone input

...then another to:

2) Patch the microphone input directly to the speaker output

...then set some transistor-level variables to:

3) Increase the input gain
4) Increase the output gain (volume)

An exploded(opened Nokia 770 ) image was posted at www.nokia770.com/forum.
It shows a Microphone within the Nokia 770. Whether it is still there in the final release of Nokia 770 is unknown.

I do knot know if this link will work.
But here it is anyway. This picture in the link shows that there is indeed an internal Microphone within the Nokia 770 IT.

Is is complicated to have the mic output piped into a file? If not, then instant voice recorder.

Now that would be pretty cool. I think it'd be rather amazingly complex, though. But, with the new update, the increased built in features to support the VOIP might present a work around...
