Jaroslav,
	I think that you should make one addition to your stance on
binary-only drivers: they can't require modifications to ALSA itself.
I.e. binary only drivers can't require you to make a patch to ALSA.  To my
knowledge, this is the current stance of Linus on binary only drivers.
Cany anyone verify/correct this?
	-Chris
