    We broadcast High School Sporting events over the Internet at
    www.broadcastsport.net. It would be helpful to record commercials and/or
    taped interviews onto the hard drive and play them back on demand. This
    would work great except that our announcers do not know when to start talking
    again. We also broadcast with a low-power FM transmitter in the stands, so
    we need to be able to direct those spots along with the entire broadcast out
    the the headphone jack. Currently we have to splice the transmitter into the
    cable before it is hooked into the microphone jack.
