I can try and prepare an overview about what we've started to look at 
for effect offload. The one thing that's missing from the agenda is that 
DSP offload and dynamic firmware handling do require control on audio 
policy (high level arbitration between use cases), audio routing (some 
paths may not be available at all times) and resource management 
(memory/MCPS/etc). We not be able to solve this in a generic manner but 
having hooks to detect/notify a DSP resource is or is not available 
might be a good thing.
