that's not relevant to what I wrote. I don't think I wrote (or implied)
that you should write a good Alsa port for crapple or that linux stands for
"selected few should write driver...".
so I am quite confused why you have chosen to answer in this way. Please
think about how other systems are important for linux instead, I am pretty
sure you can come up with the reasons easily.
