No, the DSP kernel runs the DSP core and is completely separate from
the Linux kernel running on the ARM core. The DSP tasks are just
programs that are run by the DSP kernel.

If there would a better way to get sound out of the damn things, I
wouldn't bother with the last bits of binary blobs (in the rootfs) at
all. Alas, as far as I know the only way to output audio is through
the DSP tasks which are not open.

Yeah, the problem is making it available for others, there already is
a script to scrape the necessary bits to a tar.gz from an installed
system for later local use...
