[arm-allstar] Speaker only Node

[David McGough]

Kevin,

You can't use the on-board audio on the RPi board.  However, you can just 
use an unmodified CM1xyz USB sound FOB---just plug the FOB into USB and 
plug the amplified speaking into the FOB.  Then, setup this new FOB as an 
AllStar node and connect it, if needed, to other nodes.

BTW, I do this all the time, testing and monitoring.
