[arm-allstar] broadcastify setup

[John Morandi]

Good morning sir! What I did was add that line you referred to:
"lame --preset cbr 16 -r -m m -s 8 --scale 1.1 --bitwidth 16
/tmp/outsound/pipe1
- 2>/tmp/stream.status | ezstream -qvc /etc/asterisk/ezstream.xml"
to the bottom of my /etc/rc.local and it starts up at each boot. I added
some sleep time on the line above it. 'sleep 30' to add some delay to allow
all my auto-connects to get happy before starting ezstream. There may be an
easier or better way of doing this but, this has worked for us.
