I'm putting some thought into this one.... But there are a ton of hurdles
(many of the good packages are horrendously expensive).  That said, the
majority of these devices are linux boxes with licensed codecs.  Considering
the Fluendo-option out there... Or simply the available open codecs... There
may be a far less expensive, more NYLUG project-ish solution.  I'll think a
bit more about this :)
