Good, thanks.

I don't mind at all relicensing to plugin to LGPL, since it's a part of
ALSA anyway. The resampler itself is BSD and whenever possible, I'd
really like to have any patch/fix to it available under the BSD. In any
case, since any BSD code can be easily integrated into LGPL code, it
shouldn't be a problem.

What kind of document do you want? I can't find anything about the other
sample rate converters, so I'm not sure what it should look like.
