That's what I planned to do, but :
- dextra_client binary does not run on my Linux VM, and we do not have 
the source code to re-compile it; as a workaround, I ran the Windows 
binary in a Windows VM
- I do not have the old blue DV dongle; I have a ThumbDV using recent 
AMBE3000 chip (which is not compatible with KI4LKF software, with or 
without source)

For those having BlueDV dongle, using dextra_client binary (on a 
compatible machine) with chan_dstar is a working solution. Several 
people reported success with it.

Anyway, I do not want to invest myself with old harware and old 
closed-source software. Then, it appears the best future-proof solution 
is to re-write some piece of software, and (of course) put it in 
open-source.
