As previously announced[1] by Takashi our annual Linux audio miniconference will be held this year at the SuSE offices in Prague on 27th October (the week of ELC-E). Thanks again to SuSe for sponsoring this. As with previous years let's pull together an agenda through a mailing list discussion - if people could reply to this mail with any topics they'd like to discuss we can take it from there. Of course if we can sort things out more quickly via the mailing list that's even better!
I'll start things off by mentining the TLV issues that Sakamoto-san was raising - do we have any better ideas to handle larger binary controls than what's currently being done?

Yeah I would second that, I have a patch chain that pulls some bits of Sakamoto-san's previous work and updates the usage in the ADSP driver that I was hoping to send out for comments before the meeting. Don't think I will be able to get it out this week but probably next week. Although that is really just tidying up the current solution rather than looking at other alternatives.
I would also quite like to start some discussions about what might be some sensible first steps towards Lar's plans around rate domains.
Also I might like to have a quick discussion around ways of handling very large register maps. Obviously, the size of the regmaps on our CODECs are starting to annoy more than a few maintainers and it would be good to have a quick discussion on sensible ways to break that down and make it more managable for review. Primarily, I have been thinking about grouping more of the registers with the drivers that are using them and having less of it centralised in large header files and tables within the MFD system.
Thanks, Charles
