I don't agree. Good documentation is essential and I see the lack
of it as a serious problem for ALSA.

It's not that easy to write documentation without documentation.
This would be best done by the people who wrote the API I
think. It would take some time, but then again it is a matter of
where the priorities are. I think documentation is very important,
and in the long run would gain other developers' contribution
and make life easier for the ALSA core developer team.

The message did not seem offending to me. Your message on the
other hand struck me as a little rude.
