Open source watch? Yep.

Just an example of a nifty project that I tripped across since posting above.

Or, if you're in no hurry the C.H.I.P. computer can handle audio input/output and is cheap.

Recommending CHIP over Onion? Why is that? Just curious...

It's cheaper :)
Plus I haven't really looked at the audio input/output capabilities of the Onion whereas I knew that the C.H.I.P. had both with no extra hardware requirement. To record a sound as a WAV file. To play a sound, (WAV, OGG, MP3).
So really just a matter of seeing whether the C.H.I.P. can do the MP3 encoding on-the-fly when recording, (1GHz vs 400Mhz CPU in the Onion, 8 times the RAM, 4GB of onboard storage that can be used for buffering). Depending on what the final recording qualities are to be, if it's for something that only requires a low bitrate, (like voice), then I would think it'll have no trouble.
It can also handle USB flash drives without requiring a hub since you can still connect a mouse/keyboard via Bluetooth. Add a LiPo cell and you have battery backup if that's important.
I've got two C.H.I.P.s arriving sometime next year along with a HDMI adapter, something else to sit on the desk and gather dust ;D

Just. Wow. That's incredible. It looks a lot easier to deal with than some of the other boards out there. The built in memory and preloaded Linux certainly go a long way.
