A troll is an email that is posted to elicit a huge amount of
responses. (Example: What is the best audio editor?) I don't think my
email was a troll. I'm amazed that it even got this response.
Kai was asking if he missed some important points. I think
documentation is an important point. I didn't imagine that it would
be so controversial.

I have helped in small ways, wherever I can. I've helped with the
ALSA HOWTO and other projects. Unfortunately, I could never get ALSA 0.9.x
to compile so I'm still using 0.5 for now.
As far getting help from the developer team, they weren't very
patient about my compilation problems... I've posted other requests like
re-opening the alsa-doc mailing list that have been ignored. I don't mean
any offense to the ALSA developers, I realize that they're really busy
right now.
So I'm waiting for things to stabilize, that's why I said "one
day..."

This sentence is very confusing but I think it's supposed to be a
personal attack. I really don't know what to do at this point... Would
changing my message to "ALSA is missing something like The Programmer's
Guide to OSS" be better?
