ALSA is part of the Linux 2.6 kernel and so I would submit a BlueZ ALSA driver for kernel inclusion only. I don't care about the ALSA CVS, because the ALSA CVS must track the kernel and not vice versa. > Of course the snd-bt-sco module will just be a bit of shim code between > alsa and blues.

Maybe I have to repeat it, but I don't care about the ALSA CVS and any older kernel versions. The current mainline kernel is the only base.
