Intel Is Having Great Success With Their Open-Source Sound Firmware

Intel went from offering closed-source firmware and a proprietary SDK for their DSP to an open-source firmware with a similarly opened software development kit for DSP developers. Liam Girdwood of Intel presented at last month's Open-Source Firmware Conference about this work and the video recording of that talk is now available.
Liam covered the technical and political challenges at Intel in getting this DSP firmware/SDK open-sourced, their continued work on improving the Sound Open Firmware stack as well as supporting new Intel hardware, and other work.
The presentation covering this sound firmware open-sourcing process is embedded available while Liam's slides are also available in PDF form.
