I really like this text!!! This is really what we need. I'm CCing this
email to linux-audio-dev mailing list, too. Here are some people which
should say something to this issue.

I'm little bit before you, but it will be good if you will manage this
document (I'm busy in these days with another things). I made HTML file
which is available at http://alsa.jcu.cz/call.html. Plain text version is
available, too.

Maybe more HREF's to pages which describes Linux and how big is
Linux's userbase will be good in final document...

						Thank you,
