Hi all!

	I released alsa-driver 0.2.0-pre9, alsa-lib 0.1.2 and alsa-utils
0.0.7. New thing is alsactl program which controls store and restore
ALSA driver setup (like mixer volumes etc..). This program is in alsa-utils
package, thus for complete installation you need compile latest packages.
The /proc/asound/0/mixer0 interface is marked as obsolete now and it will
be removed in near future.
	ALSA driver have now more complicated mixer interface - stereo
record source control is added for some soundcards (like SB16) and route
path control for special purposes were added, too. Unfortunately these
changes should break functionality of some native ALSA mixers. Recompile
your mixer before you will report bugs...
	There are fixed some bugs in all packages, too...

My plan for near future:

  - change coding-style for whole driver, library and utils
    - indent -kr -i8
  - add more support for persist module
    - remove old ASCII mixer interface
    - add code for store/restore switch settings over persist module
  - update documentation for 0.2.0 driver and latest library
