[linux-audio-user] ALSA: What is the website missing?

[Richard]

A small equivalent table would be nice.
I got a  SIS mobo ..  the  equivalent is a  intel  8x0 
That was bit hard to find  .

Redoing the documentation is really important.
Making easier to manage the info that's relevant.
Another datail really is what's going on with kernel 2.6 
Get a bit of news about the implementation of ALSA  as  default 
in 2.6  
Even how to compile a kernel 2.6 with ALSA  would be nice.
