Yes, he and I discussed it briefly at UDS. I'll let you know when it
looks like it will be and we can hash out who can attend and present. My
goal here is to provide either one or several classes to enable those
triagers who are interested in audio bug triage to provide  a better
class of bug to the developers while at the same time improving both
their knowledge and our wiki documentation on the specific subsystem in
the Kernel/ wiki namespace. A beneficial side-effect of this is that
people interested in these subsystems can get a basic idea of what they
do and how to file an effective bug off the bat.
