Bloat is relative. It's a reasonably small program that runs under Linux,
you probably could wedge it with the extras turned off onto an old router.

Gone are the days that speak freely was available, and you could run
remote audio pickups via piping the audio via ssh.

Worked well for me to pipe a receiver in Jerusalem via frame relay to a
remote speaker in Tel Aviv. This used 8k bits per second (plus overhead)
of a 64k bits per second line.
