Thanks a lot for your work on this. What you've decided about handling
N900 (and N9/50) adaptation? Will the integration be branched somehow,
or it means dropping support for closed modules of mentioned devices?

I think that there is two larger issues with those closed modules. First
is that nobody is maintaining those as those are binary blobs. And
second is that in case of API changes we would need to start maintaining
two version of each of the applications that use these changed API's,
one for old pulseaudio and another for the new one, which is lots of
work compared to the gain. So personally I'm also in favour of dropping
the closed modules and making everything work as good as possible
without those.
If I have understood the audio works still with the new pulseaudio fine
with the talked hardware and only some of the audio quality / speaker
protection things are not there. How much those are needed in reality is
not clear to me.
