Hello,

 There growing interest in the ALSA project http://alsa.jcu.cz/

If you are rewriting the awe stuff it would be nice if you could
consider
how best to allow integration of your drivers into this project.


 Cheers Paul.                                        

p.s. I hope people don't mind me bouncing quotes between lists.
