This book is few years old but it makes the hardware DSP development
side look pretty easy:

Does anyone know if this kit can still be had for $179?

Agreed, starting from scratch would be tough, unlike a software
company... But a few thousand Euros is a drop in the bucket to a company
with an existing revenue stream and some expertise in the area. That
was why I posted that rant to LKML, in hopes that some hardware people
were reading and would do the math.
(All this talk of Euros, sometimes I feel like the only American LAD...)

The expense could be spread around the participants, but yes, some

And I posted a [possibly OT] rant to that thread
about how this was a
waste of time and how you could REALLY make a killing with open sound
hardware.
I've been doing hardware design and device driver development as part of
my day work. Designing open source hardware is possible in theory, but I
can't see who would pay the expenses of the development.
Software and
hardware required to develop a proper hardware costs thousands of euros.
So some of the work would have to be done by people who can access such
software/hardware at work.
