Hi Patrick. I saw your changes to the doc page and have one or two remarks:
1.] The layout is a litle bit messed up here. The black line goes through "Supported Soundcards" and "Userspace Tools". If i use a smaller font, it's ok. so i don't know, if it's a mozilla thing [Mozilla Debian Package 1.5-3]..
Yeah I removed it (was just playing around with layout).
2.] There's quite a lot of info in the wiki allready and i wonder if we could just create [initially empty] entries in the wiki for the missing links [like dmix/dsnoop, 5.1 sound...]. There's already a dmix page in the wiki which we could link to. As it grows more mature it can someday maybe be integrated into the "normal" documentation..
Using the wiki for drafts for these pages also has the advantage of that it is very easy to set up initial pages which then can be improved. Let's say: it becomes much easier for the user to contribute documentation this way.. Also users who don't know what a wiki is will soon learn if links from the doc pages go to it :)
I would prefer to have actual data before we make a link. It drives me nuts when I go to find info on the official site for a project and the links just lead to dead ends. The extra clicks for nothing make me feel annoyed.
3.] Contrary to my first draft of the TOC i would suggest moving the soundcard matrix to the system maintainers section. Also the name "Sound Card Matrix & User documentation" is misleading. I suppose this means the user supplied info regarding each driver. I would rather have "User documentation" as a single Topic for documentation that is really aimed at the end user [This contains the userspace tools and the .asoundrc, though this also overlaps with system maintainers stuff]
People have given a lot of suggestions for the matrix which I'm working on adding. I'm trying to find a way to combine all these things into a neat little package. Until then we will just have to make do with links to all the various sources as our main stay.
P.S.: If you want help with it, i could just do the changes to a local copy and then send you a diff.
Sure. Any contributions are welcome.

Apparently upon the beginning of the barrage, the donkey broke discipline and panicked, toppling the cart. At that point, the rockets disconnected from the timer, leaving them strewn around the street. Tethered to the now toppled cart, the donkey was unable to escape before the arrival of U.S. troops.
