Its more a case of predating the wheel as far as I can tell. In terms
of frameworks I don't think it matters as of itself - but once that
means you have to write two different versions of the same codec chip
driver for example yes it matters.

Well our agenda right now is to strip out the crap, polish up the
various bugs found in review (and in staging its already getting a
trickle of very useful community input swatting silly error path bugs,
signed/unsigned typing etc) and then assign someone in Intel
OTC (hopefully if things go to plan someone with prior ALSA dev
experience) to make it a good ALSA citizen which probably means using
ASOC or similar.

Putting it in staging allows that work to be done in public in a
meaningful way where the code and changes get review.
