admin e67e27f047 fix: share soundcard between darkice and ISR via ALSA dsnoop
hw:0,0 is an exclusive ALSA device — darkice holding it caused arecord
to fail silently (stderr was /dev/null), leaving all recordings at 0 bytes
with no errors in the log.

asound.conf: defines a dsnoop virtual device 'shared_mic' that opens
hw:0,0 once and lets multiple processes capture simultaneously.

docker-compose.yml: mount asound.conf into the container as
/etc/asound.conf; add ipc: host so the container shares the host IPC
namespace (dsnoop uses System V shared memory which does not cross the
container IPC boundary without this).

config.example.ini: document the dsnoop setup and shared-device pattern.
README, CLAUDE.md: document the full setup procedure.

# Shared ALSA capture device using dsnoop.
# Allows multiple processes (e.g. darkice and ISR) to read from hw:0,0 simultaneously.
#
# Deploy:
# sudo cp asound.conf /etc/asound.conf (host — for darkice)
# docker-compose.yml mounts it into the recorder container automatically.
#
# Both darkice and ISR must use "shared_mic" as their device name instead of "hw:0,0".
