Gotta few questions and ideas for PhonoPaper.

So I have PhonoPaper and always wanted the recording duration longer than 10 seconds. I want to record an entire song onto 1 single roll of paper.. Is there a way to record longer? Would that be possible to tweak in the Pixilang app?

I have an idea to create a roll of paper on a cardboard cylinder and have it scroll across the view of the camera (open on the PhonoPaper app), onto another cardboard cylinder spinning via a motor, hand cranked, or a slow moving drill, much like how cassette tape or reel-to-reel works... effectively you could print a 4-8 foot long roll of paper, create a simple jig to hold the cylinders and play 1-2 minutes of audio.

Most printers can actually print this way.. companies make special paper to load in the printer, and websites explain how, Google "how to print rolls of paper".

I wish I could experiment and do it myself but I have no experience with Pixilang or coding in general, it was just an idea..

Yes, you can use Virtual ANS for this: https://warmplace.ru/soft/ans
Just load some long WAV file and then export it to PhonoPaper JPEG
