It's true that developers who want input into the spec have to pony 
up, but IIRC the same is true with the ODF spec.  Employees of Sun 
and IBM and other OASIS members listen to community input, but it's 
still their ball game.

It looks like the AAF guys are at least paying lip service to open 
source software.  They claim to have an "open-source API", and I know 
someone's already written an input plugin for Ardour so it can't be 
too GPL-incompatible.

Google failed me on this, but the Linux Sound Apps page pointed me in 
the right direction.
