Hehe, I'm just a 'translator' here. But going by you answer I'm taking it there isn't in fact a rate-limit to adjustments. Which, even if you were not opposed to that direction, makes it an unfeasible proposition. Also, I'm not thinking its too mythical, sound/soc/intel/ is full of audio DSP stuff, I think a newer version will just gain ART support.
