I'm very much in favour of that, because it means we can bring our 
combined resources and communities to the quality assurance process.

Having a reference implementation of the kernel might also help us to 
work with audio hardware manufacturers, because it would enable us to be 
definitive about whether a particular piece of hardware was supported or 
not, and apply fixes where required. For example, we used to be able to 
say that M Audio devices were generally supported, but the newest 
hardware revision of the Delta range is problematic with current ALSA, 
and the new M Audio multichannel USB 2.0 interfaces are not class 
compliant either.

Cheers!

Daniel
