It is possible to build the gstreamer plugins with a homemade
fake-osso-dsp-headers-rx-44 package (see
http://www.linuxtogo.org/~ph5/n810/dsp/) based on the released older
osso-dsp-headers-0.1
(http://repository.maemo.org/pool/maemo/ossw/source/o/osso-dsp-headers/).
I have not tested if they actually work on the device.
