Well, yes it looks a bit simplistic now. Even if you play audio decoded by ARM cpu (ogg, real audio) it seems to lock ARM core to 330 and dsp to 220Mhz. I suppose it is because you need pcm dsp task running for audio output and any active dsp task locks it to 220Mhz (and thus cpu to 330). I wonder if it is just simple implementation that can be tuned in next firmwares or there is some fundamental problem (like changing dsp clock of already running dsp task may break it so it is hardcoded to 220).
