Like he said he is a busy person.

Is that all that is wrong with the document? I was under the impression 
there was more and was waiting for you to send it to the list so other 
people could verify it.

Paul - Are you ok with me putting the page on the alsa server as fully

to get your permission?

You have it licensed as GPL so I assume it is not a big deal to you if I 
do? Have you considered changing it to FDL instead?
