Hmm, could you elaborate a bit about the background here? So the idea is
to have the clock framework that handles all system clocks also take
care for clocks related to audio?

What would such a framework need to accomplish, and what missing in -
for example - the common clock framework in that regard?

If there's a discussion thread about that topic, a pointer to that would
suffice.
