Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is transforming industries like automation and automotive, ensuring the reliable and deterministic transmission of data. Within this world of TSN, there is a specialized flavor of Audio-Video Bridging (AVB) called the Milan protocol. While Milan is designed to guarantee deterministic, high-quality audio delivery, the Open Source community's efforts in this space have stagnated in recent years.

This talk will provide a high-level overview of TSN and the Milan protocol, before diving into the exciting, ongoing work to integrate Milan compatibility into pipewire-avb. We’ll explore the challenges we’ve faced so far, the quirky hurdles encountered, and what still lies ahead in making full Milan functionality a reality. Whether you're involved in the open-source community or simply curious about how Milan can revolutionize audio networking, this talk will offer a fresh perspective on the journey toward making Milan open and accessible for all.
