ALSA has an active maintainer, you should at least CC them on patches to 
their subsystem...

It is hard to tell, they are off on their own list with their own CVS...

Here it is again.  Is this OK with you guys?  It fixes a bunch of
warnings in my compile.

Why do we use in kernel:
	do { (void)(foobar); } while (0)
instead of the simpler and normally used in std files (e.g. assert.h):
	((void)(foobar),0)
?

The "do while(0)" is used for multi-statment macros, not the case for
void statment!
