[arm-allstar] CM108 USB sound FOB

[David McGough]

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the info about the C-media device. We already have support for 
this VID:PID in our recent builds, starting as of V1.02beta for the 
RPi2/3. Lito, KI9H, was the first to report this device and sent a patch 
in late 2015.

Once formally released, previously we've included all customized source
code in the /usr/src/utils folder. As of the upcoming new releases, the
source code has been moved to ArchLinux style packages, since it adds to
the initial download size and isn't immediately needed to get "up and
running."

We also use SVN for source code management.  Access to SVN is currently
restricted to a handful of developers, since this code is in constant
development and just downloading a snapshot frequently won't yield a
working application!

The latest alpha code included many, many nifty enhancements and new
features!  It fixes numerous long-standing annoyances and is currently
being run by a small group of devoted testers.

Another public beta release is coming soon.

73, David KB4FXC
