No idea - no contact at all. The work is done by koying. Integration into a sane AE interface was not yet discussed but is on the agenda.

If you want HEVC 1080p and HD Audio support then I'd suggest a Braswell platform might be the way to go. You'll need to run Windows if you want 5.1 audio in Netflix as you don't get this in the browser version (which is all you have under Linux), just the Windows app - and you'll need a wireless keyboard-type remote not just a regular IR remote as navigating the app isn't remote-friendly.
I'm not sure if HEVC decode is supported on Braswell under Windows Kodi, if it isn't you'd need to dual boot to OpenElec or another Linux solution.
The forthcoming Cherry Trail stuff may also do what you want at a lower price point than Braswell, but avoid the Baytrail-T stuff (no HEVC and very weak GPU)
**** EDIT : Fritsch's post below appears to suggest that HD Audio is closer to appearing on the Shield console than I thought. Happy to be corrected! ****

Needs are 1080p, no 3D (idk!) and don't care about future proofing for 4K much. I don't rip or play Blurry disks. Just straight downloading of 1080pm mkv files usually. and HD audio might be cool.
