[Sound-open-firmware] Introduction and questions

I write a column on open source and music on https://opensource.com/ Recently I was at Open Summit and learned of this project. I subsequently contacted some folks at Intel to learn more about how this project might affect users of open source media players. One of my contacts advised posting questions to this list. To avoid spamming the list any more than I already have, I'd like to confirm that a few such questions won't be a supreme annoyance to the list members.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
