Re: iPhone as mic on Arch?

I was in the same boat a few years back starting Arch, I ended up using Droidcam (For Android & iPhone), and routing the mic of it as a loopback into Pulseaudio. They have some instructions for it, but they've remained untouched for some time and may or may not still work (They should work. It's ALSA we're talking about).

The AUR link for it, instructions for sound and all are found in the uplink URL:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/droidcam

I'm sure there's a clearer, simpler way of using the phone mic, but this worked for me and that's as far as I went, lol.

Maybe voip clients are helpful (e.g. Linphone, Jitsi..).
