Put drivers separately, let's not split it up more than that. > What would you do with drivers with the same name (source code file) in alsa and oss ? Sound is special because you have two implementations of the same subsystem living together. And eventually in a (near?) future, the oss subtree will be killed and the alsa one would go up one level, just as is. Much cleaner. And you will end with sound/alsa-core.c sound/drivers/alsa-driver.c By /juan -- J.A.
