Rework rather than rewrite I think. Plus fix the abuse of the jack
inputs etc. Our intent is to do the job properly.

I think so - it gets more visiblity and it is already benefitting from
that

I would prefer staging as again it gets more visibility. The second
reason I would prefer that visibility is that separate to the plain
ALSA driver there needs to be a bigger discussion around audio offload
interfaces and standardizing them.
