When is anything going to take use of the DSP? Or are there already some programs utilizing it.

Actually kernel update is not necessary to use those DSP frameworks, it's just nobody of capable doing it are interested in doing it.When we get a kernel upgrade, we can use it.
Getting it into 2.6.27 is way way more work than I think would be worth. If we were on 2.6.33, I'd volunteer to backport it from the 2.6.37 staging just so we could get something, but too much happened with omap between .32 and .33 to make it anything but a royal pain in the backside. Short of rewriting the proposed frameworks for the older kernel, the only way to get it is to upgrade the kernel, but I'm pretty sure we've got other things that break at .33 as well. I haven't been able to get anything beyond .32 working on my BeagleBoard, and even that is tenuous at best.Actually kernel update is not necessary to use those DSP frameworks, it's just nobody of capable doing it are interested in doing it.
This is your speculation or have you actually tried looking at it? Also I suppose you are referring to DSPbridge, there is also DSPlink..Getting it into 2.6.27 is way way more work than I think would be worth.
I spent a few hours on it yesterday. It uses some features from clock and mailbox that didn't exist before .33. Presumably someone could rewrite those parts, but I don't even know what mailbox.h is for (although I can guess) so I wouldn't be the best person to know how to go about doing that.This is your speculation or have you actually tried looking at it?
