Honestly, this feels like "might as well wait for 4.6" to me.
I'm generally ok with taking completely new drivers later in the rc if
there's a good reason for it, but then I want to feel like there's no
way that can regress (because it doesn't impact an existing driver),
and I also tend to only do that if the driver is something critical
for new machines (ie a new network or video driver can be the
difference between "that machine is usable" and "that machine is a
doorstop").
This fails both those guidelines - it *might* screw up machines that
work now, and while audio certainly isn't unimportant, it generally
isn't a "you can't use the machine for anything" kind of issue.
Thus the "I'd rather get this in a few weeks during the next merge
window" reaction.
