Subject: Why is /sound not in /drivers/media?

Hi everybody,

I just asked myself why the /sound tree is not within /drivers/media right
besides /drivers/media/video. Wouldn't that make sense? Could the movement be
done on OSS removal?

I didn't find any info on that. Maybe someone might help me understand...

Regards,
Marc

IIRC, because ALSA maintainers though that sound/ are not just drivers, but
also a subsystem just like net/. Network drivers are in drivers/net however.
