Well, so I would like to restore that install capability that was lost
when we combined gr-audio components into one.
The basic idea is, rather than all implementations of audio source/sink
being built into the gnuradio-audio.so, we build the implementations
into separate modules. Whatever modules are installed at runtime are
loaded, and available for selection via the audio.conf settings.
