Sorry.  My fault.  Unfortunately my main Linux machine is a victim of
that bug that results in a kernel panic when closing the 
USB-serial device.  (It still astonishes me that it hasn't been fixed
in 2.4).  

I tried using Virtual PC on my XP box, but its serial port emulation
is too flaky.  So I have to reboot my XP box into Linux to try stuff
out, which I don't do too often.

Just comment that line out.

bpaudio currently implements converting any audio format to Qualcomm
purevoice, and back to plain wav.  It uses the ffmpeg binary (I tried
to use it as a library but it was a nightmare) and a windows binary
from Qualcomm (I did ask them if I could ship it as their licensing
doc is ambiguous but they never responded).  Needless to say, the
latter binary won't work on Linux :-)  I will look to see if I can
get it to run under Wine at some point.
