SACD daemon reconstruction: rebuilding Sony BDP-BX510 sacd_extract_160

SACD daemon reconstruction rebuilds Sony BDP-BX510's ARM sacd_extract_160 daemon in C. It documents TCP 2002 sector requests and the CPSA ioctl path, and supplies function-diff tools, QEMU device models and differential captures. The author reports 388 of 390 functions equivalent and byte-identical wire behavior in tested cases.
