We talk about the problems that Rogue Amoeba&#8217;s software solves, including SoundSource which is probably their application with the broadest appeal to people. We talk through design decisions including both making Audio Hijack completely accessible to visually-impaired users, and making it easier for all of us to understand.<\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-26906-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/nosillacast\/traffic.libsyn.com\/nosillacast\/CCATP_2022_09_28.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/nosillacast\/traffic.libsyn.com\/nosillacast\/CCATP_2022_09_28.mp3\">https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/nosillacast\/traffic.libsyn.com\/nosillacast\/CCATP_2022_09_28.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p><a title=\"mp3 download\" href=\"https:\/\/media.blubrry.com\/nosillacast\/traffic.libsyn.com\/nosillacast\/CCATP_2022_09_28.mp3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mp3 download<\/a><\/p>\n<figure style=\"float: right; margin-left: 10px\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.podfeet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ah-original@2x.png\" alt=\"Audio Hijack 1.0 Interface\"  title=\"ah-original@2x.png\" width=\"400 \" height=\"180\"><figcaption style=\"text-align:center\">Audio Hijack 1.0 Interface<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I ask Paul the burning question on everyone&#8217;s mind, where the heck did the name Rogue Amoeba come from?<\/p>\n<p>This is not an ad for Rogue Amoeba, but I&#8217;m afraid I <em>do<\/em> gush quite a bit because I&#8217;m such a giant fan of everything they do.
