I never use it.... ++vote to get rid of it.  

And by the way, my hardware/software works completely fine (no
problems whatsoever):
  IBM ThinkPad A31  1.8 P4-M
  Cardbus HDSP/Multiface  rev 0xb
  kernel 2.4.21 , alsa 0.9.8

And while I have your attention, i've tried to get iec958 spdif
passthrough (non-audio AC3) working on the HDSP without success.
I created a HDSP.conf based on the RME9652.conf and got the device
properly opened using ac3dec -C , but no stream is passed (using
ADAT1 optical output, properly set as SPDIF in hdspconf).  Setting
the non-audio flag doesn't appear to have any effect.
It works fine as an output for regular PCM spdif operation.

Any ideas you or the other alsa gurus have would be most welcome.
