I'm sorry about the noise. I thought it was worth in this case because:

 * this series has been sent 2.5 months ago
 * there was no reply at all
 * AFAIK and according to MAINTAINERS there is no patchwork catching
   tools/sound/

So it was looking much more like something gone into oblivion than
being on someone's TODO list.

Apologies, my fault for not having checked the archives. Note taken.

After doing so now however, I must say that while counting the resends
is easy, counting the pings in a somewhat reliable way is very time
consuming. It would be nice to have this info in a more reachable way
(MAINTAINERS?).
