My initial topics would be :-

o Reducing alsa kernel and driver size for IoT devices with limited
DRAM. Look at Tinyalsa and salsalib too for IoT userspace.

o Generic machine drivers based on ACPI table data from multiple
devices. i.e. create a machine driver based on ACPI HW topology data
from codec and DSP drivers. This seems to be done for DT, so we probably
need to combine ACPI support into the existing code. The device property
API can be used to abstract any differences between reading data from DT
and ACPI. The difference with DT is that we will need to aggregate data
from the codec and DSP tables as we wont have any ACPI table data for a
machine driver device.

o Intels audio testing tool (currently called BAT). What new features
are needed/wanted most. This is a tool Intel are working on for
automated testing of audio drivers and sound servers. It will be GPL
licensed and is intended to be part of alsa-utils when ready. I'll make
an announcement with more details and a git repo in the next few weeks.
We are using this internally atm for testing current upstream SST
drivers.
