Hi Adrian,

Kernel janitors doesn't really merge any code.  You need to send it to
the relevant lists from the scripts/get_maintainer.pl script.

* The subject needs to have a subsystem prefix
* The commit message needs to say something like:
  "Update contact details and the address for sound firmware for
   for various Dreamcast drivers."
  The other meta information is unnecessary or you could put it under
  the --- cut off line below the Signed-off-by line.
* You need to have a Signed-off-by line.

I don't know the ALSA devs will care either way but I would probably
put this change in a separate patch from the email changes.
