Hi Jaroslav,
I suppose keeping the ALSA CVS as our root would indeed be the best option.
Synchronisation of the kernel and our CVS tree could be sort of a challenge
since people wil start to submit patches against the kernel tree (and
possibly only posted to lkml).
On the other hand the diff between CVS and kernel tree should not grow too
big, since in that case Linus would start to dislike our patches (as
happened with the isdn guys). Frequent synchronisation wil be important,
which as a downside involves a lot of bookkeeping which patches have been
applied by Linus, and which not (yet).
Just some thoughts,
Frank.
ps: the ALSA merge in the kernel was indeed a great milestone, and I must
admit I used it as a good excuse for giving a small party :-)
