Hello Glenn, thank you for your answer.
Actually, for now my question is mostly about the kernel modules, and especially binder which is apparently used for IPC between libmedia and audioflinger. I did found kernel/common.git/drivers/staging/android and tried to compile binder as a kernel module, but it uses some unexported symbols, so I guess that I need to recompile the whole kernel. Is there a standalone kernel patch? Any advice to include support for binder in a mainstream kernel?
