Well, from the sound subsystem side, the only concerns are the design
issues: namely, whether the implementations with two cards are
acceptable, and whether the current control of PCM mapping is OK from
the user POV.  IIRC, there were discussions with Intel people and
others, and I haven't followed whether we got consensus.
If we reached some agreement, it'd be appreciated if you can put acks
from them in the patches, too.

The internal implementation details can be adjusted later, but those
two must be set in stone after merging the stuff to the upstream.

(BTW, the mail address of Pierre changed; I corrected in this mail.)


thanks,
