Some proposed ALSA sysfs changes to stock kernel from GregKH

[R Chan]

Greg KH is proposing some sysfs changes to the stock kernel - any impact on
CVS ALSA? Is it ok to rely solely on CVS ALSA -  I always build 2.6 from 
the stock
tree and then immediately overwrite the sound directory with ALSA CVS.

[PATCH] ALSA: add sysfs class support for ALSA sound devices

This patch adds support for all ALSA sound devices.  The previous OSS
sound patch is required for this one to work properly.

This patch is based on a work originally written by
Leann Ogasawara <ogasawara@osdl.org>


 include/sound/core.h |    1 +
 sound/core/sound.c   |   34 ++++++++++++++++++++--------------
 sound/pci/intel8x0.c |    1 +


The OSS patch he is referring to is


 include/sound/core.h |    1 +
 sound/core/sound.c   |   34 ++++++++++++++++++++--------------
 sound/pci/intel8x0.c |    1 +

Those patches do not apply cleanly to the latest ALSA version.  There
are some minor conflicts, all easily resolved.  I'm not sure whether
anything else depends on the ALSA changes, but I wouldn't think so.
I've been running ALSA 1.0.1 merged with Greg's patches for some
time, and it seems to be working well.

We will merge these patches when they're merged to mainstream.

I suppose someone will also update the drivers as needed.  Only the
intel8x0 driver has been updated.  The rest should still work as
before these patches.

yep, they have been already done on my local tree, together with USB
and isapnp changes.
now just waiting for the integration of Greg's stuff to the main tree
(or maybe mm tree would be enough).
