PWM driver for Beagle Board

Hi all,
I am Varun Jewalikar, a 4th year student of Delhi College of
Engineering(India). I was very excited to see BeagleBoard as one of
the accepted organisations and am very keen on pursuing a GSoC project
here.
I was discussing some ideas with Hunyue Yau (ds2) on irc and he
suggested that in the RevC boards the OMAP pins for PWM are brought
out to the expansion header and writing a driver for using these pins
would have great community value.
As an add on i would attempt to write a glue layer for alsa to use
that PWM as a sound card.

What are your views on this and where all could it (PWM) find
applications ?

Would somebody here be interested in co mentoring this?

A slight background - this arose out of a discussion on simple DC motor
control with Varun.

Varun,
It might be a good idea for you to review the OMAP3 TRM so you can scope out
the work/effort required. Also, what are you aiming as the dispositon of the
code at the conclusion, i.e. archived on a page, submitted upstream to L-O or
K-O?
