We will have to implement a script like

#!/bin/bash
set -e
droidcam &
sleep 1
pacmd load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:Loopback,1,0 source_properties=device.description=droidcam_audio
wait

to enable audio, as suggested in comments under issue 60 in aramdg/droidcam. This has to be first checked with the released .zip file.

Outline of steps:

1. Make droidcam and droidcam-cli for Pi using this method

2. Ensure the deb package works (add raspberrypi-kernel-headers to debian/control)

3. Put it into a .zip file, and make a .deb package containing the amd64 and armhf binaries in two .zip files.

4. Follow the same method to produce a build for arm64 (newer Pis running 64 bit RPi OS).

The developer discourages 3rd party redistribution, but it will immensely help users (especially in Raspberry Pi). So, we should rather implement this message on startup.

"This method of installation is officially unsupported. If you encounter an issue, uninstall droidcam (.deb), download the .zip release from here and check if the issue is present. If the issue is still present, you can open a github issue here (the upstream repo). If the issue is absent in the upstream package, and only present when installed from PPA/.deb package, you can open an issue here (this repo). Kindly DO NOT report issues related to the .deb package to the upstream repo.

I got this idea from here
