Indeed. We already make up our mind. These files will leave this directory :-) .

You mean the codec files moving to sound/ ? With this board file
approach this cause problems in linking the codec functions in the
board file. They had to stay in the omap tree not in the sound/ .
Maybe a better place to them could be plat-omap/ ?

Anyway, with this approach they can be used in other architectures as
well with small modifications. And in omap oss too.
