Atm we have to use ALSA to produce A2DP output, is the data sent  
thought here simply piped straight into sbcenc running standalone?

I'd like to make sure that the people who currently use it (e.g. from  
mplayer) are also able to continue doing so using the DSP.

Certainly a GStreamer wrapper is next on the list of ToDos after I  
stop the DSP from crashing ;).

Cheers,
