Android howto

[Sean McNeil]

I am uploading a new rootfs.jffs as I type. It will take a few hours 
with my slow connection :(

The issue with patents is causing great pain. Android is setup to either 
build with all of Packet Videos opencore, or to eliminate it. If 
eliminated, then the media playback and record cannot work as it uses 
Packet Video in a JNI interface. Building a partial opencore library is 
also quite difficult. I can't just eliminate particular codecs as they 
are static libraries with lots of dependencies.

So, media handling is broken at the moment. You will see that it tells 
you in logcat it is out of memory, but that is just a bogus error. I am 
still working to fix it.
