I don't think using kernel git trees would put anyone off. Anyone working on a sound card driver would most likely already be familiar with using git w/ the upstream kernel anyway. My own personal alsa use is in kernels with no loadable module support, so I can't use the standalone package to build modules anyway. I need the code integrated into the tree and I just do it by hand right now. I've tinkered with libata (git) as well as alsa, and I think having it in git makes it a bit easier when dealing with upstream updates and merging. -Andrew _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
