After reading the LCA slides on pulse-audio it seems to be the best choice for an
audiorouting app, BUT ...

... it uses libsamplerate, which is doing heavy floating point math for each needed step,
so it isn't usable on regular ARM cpus. If we can avoid samplerate conversion, it should
be performing quite well on the intended hardware.
