Yep the plan is to gradually expand this to other platforms. 
Implementing this for all arago platforms will require OOB changes, also 
users may or may not be used to pipewire and more familiar with 
pulseaudio or some other audio server. So our approach is to first 
provide it as an appnote specifically for AM62 devices, then gradually 
expand it based on feedback.
