I'm reading the discomfort on all sides here. Vinod, how often do you merge on ALSA/ASoC ? Would it not make more sense to be part of ALSA to ease workflow (including yours) ? This model worked well for soundwire's predecessors (AC97 and HDA) which like soundwire were primarily audio busses with secondary non audio features. Liam
