It doesn't have to be - in this particular instance is down to patch 5088/3, which introduced a new #include into pcm027.c, where the file to be included is in the SPI tree. In hind sight, that change should've been separated into two patches: 1. create the new API and change existing users over 2. add new pcm027 support (reliant on SPI tree) This would've meant that things could have been arranged so that the _only_ outstanding patch was (2) rather than the existing situation where quite a lot of other peoples changes are currently stuck (because they inadvertently and indirectly depend on (1)). That's something to watch in the future... _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
