Decibel is to become a framework for real time communication services.
 .
 It is supposed to consist of a platform independent core (Houston) and
 desktop specific components for user interaction, configuration, etc.
 .
 Houston is a plain, non-graphical Qt application which is supposed to
 get started when a user logs in. It is a policy daemon, which opens
 communication channels for the user and starts components in response
 to events triggered.
