I see. This Question heading seems a bit inconsistent with what you are
actually doing. Step 1 of getting EMGD on Crownbay is adding alsa to
MACHINE_FEATURES for a BSP called meta-mymachine?

This appears to be just trying to get commercial codecs working with
accelerated graphics.

The reason I raise this, is that while it's good to have these sorts of
"Tactical" guides, if we aren't careful they can dilute the
documentation space and end up confusing users more than they help. The
README for crownbay covers what is necessary to enable EMGD accelerated
graphics. Please consider renaming the title to someting more consistent
with what you're trying accomplish.
