+# main idea:
+- stream audio from server to rovers
+- users can either stream their mic from their browser
+- users can also play audio files on the rover through the browser
+- this is a VIP feature for verified users only
+  - gate in UI and in the server
+
+## specifics
+- only the current driver can play audio through a rover
+- admins can enable / disable audio
+- lockdown admins can adjust the volume for all rovers
+- rovers are always listening for an audio stream from the server
+  - no transcoding allowed on-rover due to resources
+- rovers are always local and cant be accessed from outside, no security is needed for audio streaming
