Listen-up Project/DAISY Playing

[Kirk Reiser]

You are the third person interested in listen-up in the past few
weeks.  It has never been moved from cvs to git but I will happily do
that if folks are interested in working on it and using it.  I don't
know the current status of daisy players for gnu/linux but if there
isn't anything better then it makes sense to move it.

There hasn't been much interest in a while so I figured somebody had
developed a better package and has been maintaning it.  I guess
someone should search what's available and let us know what the actual
status is.
