[Quickcall] quickcall on unbuntu 20.04

[MIchael L. Stokes]

Well David if the device was successfully running it would appear as a 
sound device under the UBUNTU settings menus? Right?

But the question that has not been answered is how does the program that 
starts the daemon know where the daemon executable is found? The RUN+ 
option in the rule uses the syntax @QUICKCALLD@, but I have no idea how 
that is translated into a PATH  for the executable.  Do you know?

The executable is still sitting in the source path directory where I 
built it.
