As AMI emits all needed events I'll add fso support for the GUI to
handle the switching automatically, while for a true voip fso
integration I think that's has to be discussed as actually on incoming
GSM call fso will automatically switch to stereoout and gsm alsa state
and may create problems during a voip session.
But we may superseed on this actually until having a well working
asterisk on freerunner, and I'll complete the AMI gui.
However if I use plughw:0,0 in asterisk alsa.conf I may hear the ring
in the earpiece (the only problem was that I had to change the speaker
alsa control from 0 to max in voip state).
I have stuttered outgoing audio, so I think the problem is with alsa
buffer/periods etc., the proposed asound.conf file should work as
create longer buffer/periods both for input and output, but using it
asterisk does not speak anymore to the erapiece. I enabled the logging
to maximum details and I may see effectively "Alsa/default is ringing"
but no sound is emitted, and I do not know why, as in this situation
aplay works fine.

Asterisk should be able to do echo suppression?
Is this present with external headphones too?
