Subject: snd_ prefix for module options
Date: Tue, 08 Oct 2002 16:04:42 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <s5hfzvh2fid.wl@alsa2.suse.de> (raw)

Hi,

so far, all alsa modules use snd_ prefix for each module option.
iirc, there was a problem regarding namespace at the time of 2.0
kernel, and this was some workaround to avoid confliction.
but 2.2 and later kernels have no such a problem at all.

so, i'd like to ask you how do you think to remove this snd_ prefix.
of course, there is one and only big problem - compatibility!


the questions are

- whether we should really do it or not?  is it worthy?

and

- when? now or after 0.9.0-final release?


opinions, please?


Takashi
