I would love to see this happen in the world of LA. I was recently about to embark in a HW project for an AES50 implementation, however after a quick skim of the standard this sounds a little more exciting :).
A Dante "Virtual Soundcard" style thing for ALSA/JACK would be amazing. If Audiante is sincere in their intentions:
Audinate will deliver the AES67 support as firmware update to OEMs in initial Dante products within 12 months. Dante is now the market leader adopted by over 130 OEMs, as it is the most interoperable, easy to use audio networking platform.
This would open up a LA system to a lot of hardware.
Officially on the radar.
