Sakari,

I am changing the subject line and sending a new email about some oddities in
omap3remove sequence. I would have worked on cleaning these up and sending
patches, but I am still working on getting the latest gumstix booting on my
Gumstix overo board. I will spare audio folks from the email barrage of our
debug logs :)
