Strip off the drivers that don't work and fix those in later versions. I
think ALSA would be marked as experimental anyway.

I have just seen too many projects in endless development/rewrite cycle and
then die without ever getting to first release because of perfectionism.

If Linux would have been ALSA we would still use kernel version 0.9... ;)

I think most important thing is to get API to fixed state and indicate it by
making official "release" so that developers really start using it.

To prove ALSA concept you need one stable API (that don't change every six
months) and one stable driver.
