If you have a spare audio-card lying around or maybe a tv-card/webcam or so, give then: http://www.vanheusden.com/aed/ (for audio) http://www.vanheusden.com/ved/ (for video4linux) a try. And no, audio-entropyd won't fill up the entropy pool in a second, it takes a while. And often video-entropyd bails out because of not enough noise in the video-signal.
