How I understand it - and I could need some clarification from the
real driver pros - one of the goals of ALSA was to modularize driver
architecture and get more tasks away from the kernel to user land or
expressed another way: abstract software design from hardware design.
This in turn should make it easier to write drivers for ALSA or maybe
easier to write drivers that provide more functionality?

Am I describing this somehow correctly?

ciao
