Not me!

Jaroslav, you shouldn't care what such users think. I look at ALSA as
(eventually) a complete, much better sound driver architecture. Some of
us want to do a lot more than listen to CDs and MP3s, you know. The OSS
API *is* too limited. That's what ALSA is for, and I for one see no
reason it should change focus...
