  Description     : freesmartphone.org Audio daemon

fsoaudiod implements the freesmartphone.org Audio API.
It takes care of Audio related functions, particularly
routing the speech data between the soundcard and the
modem.

Currently fsoaudiod has support for the Openmoko Freerunner,
its inofficial successor - the GTA04 as well as Nokia's
N900.

The fso-audiod is part of the freesmartphone.org software stack
and will be maintained via the pkg-fso team. It's packaging
has already prepared some time ago in [0].

The audio daemon is really important at least on the N900, since a
custom modem interface is used for the speech data.  While the daemon
implements an FSO specific API and interacts with e.g. fso-gsmd, it
should be possible to use it in conjunction with ofono with a small
plumbing script.
