Thanks for the information.  I can't see why this can't be added so I will
probably do so later this evening.  Regarding the project licence:

We are actually GPLv2 or GPLv3 (not GPLv2-or-later).  How can this be
represented in this framework.  A quick search hasn't shown any examples of
dual licensing (which is effectively what our situation is).  For now
I'll put "GPL-2.0-only".

I'll probably leave the screenshots off for now.  There really isn't
anything to be gained by including one since every individual device appears
different depending on the features offered by that device.

ffado-devel is probably a better contact given the role of this tag
described at
