Hi David,
Like Stephen I think it's a problem worthy of solution. You should be
able to combine sub-devices of any device, and those systems that
support stereo microphones should be able to run FreeDV on one sound
interface and a wiring harness.
I've dealt with it in a different fashion, which is to design a generic
driver framework for FreeDV in the freedv-server program. One should
also be able to select WebDAV as their sound interface to the user, etc.
Thanks
Bruce
