Dear Tiwai san, First of all, thank you very much all those years you contributed on ALSA. Couple of days ago I emailed you over updating remark fields. The purpose of edit was providing more error and meaning to application engineers. For example, when snd_pcm_writei returned -EIO, application engineer didn’t understand what it means because the documentation didn’t include -EIO comment. Would you please let me know if I need to do something to apply these changes? I’m very new to linux community, and I thought create a patch and email to relevant recipients. However, it looks like I’m missing something here. :) FYI, I have not changed any code. Thank you.
