It would be more convenient that way. - Is Jaroslav Kysela, the current ALSA maintainer as listed in MAINTAINERS for 2.5.58? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
