The main obstacle at the moment is the DMA engine driver on A10/A20 which I'm not sure if anybody is working on. I'll be dumping some HDMI audio changes into the community in the next few days for review. I've also cleaned up SPDIF but need to refactor the patches. The Digital Audio Codec and I2S, I've also cleaned up but I've yet to test.
