Got feedback for OpenMAX or OpenSL ES specifications?

Got an email from Yeshwant, who has been working in the OpenMAX and OpenSL ES specification. They are looking for developer feedback on the specifications. If you want to get your voice heard, go the the sites pointed below and fill in the feedback questionnaire
"OpenMAX AL and OpenSL ES API standardization WGs are part of the Khronos Group (www.khronos.org). More details of these application-level APIs can be had from the following links:
OpenMAX AL: http://www.khronos.org/openmax (scroll down to the 'OpenMAX AL 1.0 At a Glance' section).
OpenSL ES: http://www.khronos.org/opensles
Provisional specifications of both APIs (along with header files) were released to the public last week. The WGs have also developed questionnaires intended to solicit specific feedback on these two API specifications from the mobile application developer community. Links to the questionnaires are available on the website links above. It is in regard to these questionnaires that I write to you now. It would be very helpful to the Khronos consortium and to Nokia in particular, if we could get developer feedback on the usefulness of these two APIs for mobile multimedia application development. Such feedback will be used to enhance/fix the APIs, where appropriate, in preparation for their final release.
...
Khronos has designated TWO months (starting from last week) for soliciting feedback on these provisional API specifications, so time is limited and the clock is already ticking."
And what are then these two specs for?
"OpenMAX™ is a royalty-free, cross-platform API that provides comprehensive streaming media codec and application portability by enabling accelerated multimedia components to be developed"
"OpenSL ES™ is a royalty-free, cross-platform, hardware-accelerated audio API tuned for embedded systems."
