OK, great.  I might as well do this before I get sick of LKML and
unsubscribe ;-).

Can you send this to me?  I will cc: you and Torben on anything I post.

OK, since it will have his name on it too, I will see if he has any
objections before I post it.

Yes, definitely.  I see many more controversial, more complex, and less
useful features getting added to the kernel all the time, this seems
like a no brainer, because every audio user will need it.  Once we get
this in the kernel it will be a one step process (apply Ingo's patches)
to get up and running on 2.6.
