Neutralize license-policy phrasing in package comment 
"kept physically exiled to this own repo forever... transiently or
otherwise" personifies the license as a sentence being served. States
the actual, accurate reason instead: this repo releases independently
like ps2gl/ps2stuff/ps2_drivers, which is unrelated to the license -
several GPL/LGPL sdk-world packages are vendored directly, so license
alone was never the real reason.

audsrv

PS2 audio server: an IOP-side RPC service (iop/sound/audsrv) and its EE-side client library (ee/rpc/audsrv), providing streaming PCM playback, ADPCM sample/channel playback, and CDDA (Red Book audio) playback over the SIF.

Why this is a separate repo

audsrv is licensed GNU Library General Public License, version 2 (the original name for what's now called LGPL v2) - see LICENSE. Every other module in ps2sdk (redesign) is Academic Free License v2.0/v3.0 or another permissive license; core packages there carry an enforced allowlist of permissive licenses only, and by policy no GPL or LGPL code lives in that repo at any time - not world-tier either. audsrv isn't load-bearing (it wraps libsd/ libspu2, which already talk to the SPU2 hardware directly - see the package architecture plan's core/world test), so it lives here instead: its own repo, consumed by name, not vendored into the core tree.

A permissively-licensed replacement audio stack, built on libsd/ libspu2/libsnd2, is planned for ps2sdk (redesign) itself. This repo isn't deprecated by that - it stays available for anyone who wants audsrv specifically, under its original license, buyer-beware.

Attribution

Based on ee/rpc/audsrv and iop/sound/audsrv from ps2dev/ps2sdk and its contributors, copied unmodified. Permanent hard fork - history starts fresh here, not merged back upstream.

Licensing

GNU Library General Public License v2 (see LICENSE) - unlike ps2sdk (redesign) and tools, not AFL-2.0. Any new code added here should stay LGPL-2 to match, or be clearly marked otherwise.
