Re: Why sound isn't working on the TP2.

Indeed, the DSP chips have their own firmware in much the same way wifi chips do.
I suspect that you could load an alternative firmware on to the DSP that would get it to respond the way we want it to, but that's a whole other skill set that few people have, and nearly impossible without either spec sheets from Qualcomm (Which are not publicly available) or extensive reverse-engineering of the chip. Additionally, DSP's have their own language and it's a pretty specialized skill to know how to "speak" it.

An Ndiswrapper style API implementation that would allow us to load the WinCE driver into Linux is possible as well, but I feel that, without other phones that could benefit from this, it would be simpler to decompile the driver with the purpose of gleaning Rhod specific info.
