I'll believe you, although your terms are wrong. The alsa-drivers package include the out-of-tree kernel modules, not userspace drivers. They still operate entirely in kernelspace, they are just not shipped with the kernel (like the kqemu module or the nvidia module). -- "If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability." -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh
