Jaroslav, I agree.  ALSA is the best thing since sliced bread to me.  OSS
comes nowhere close to reaching the functionality that ALSA has (even in
its test versions like 0.2.0-pre10).  Although I'd love to see sequencer
support, I'm going to wait because I know that if its a part of ALSA, its
going to be cool.  Thanks a lot for a beautiful idea and an even more
beautiful program.

I salute you.
