It looks like audio compression in NVR is optional at runtime but work
would be involved to make it a compile time option or to make it
dynamically loaded at runtime (i.e. via dlopen()), simple dynamic
linking is not enough since packages in Debian can only dynamically link
against libraries which are in Debian.
