Do you feel absolutely comfortable in assuming that it is neccessary for
ALSA to have its drivers in "as good or better than" state for it to be
included in Linux?  Having Linux do sound the ALSA way is better than
having Linux do sound the OSS was, that much I think is sure.  Given
this, the quicker ALSA gets into Linux the better.  Those who wish to
use the OSS drivers can use an earlier kernel or, assuming ALSA can live
alongside OSS in the kernel tree, just not use ALSA.  Is there really
that much thought to be done on the issue?
