We do have a mixed style in the audio layer.  I'm not happy about that but I 
also feel strongly that going through and doing a reformat is not a worthwhile 
exercise.

I can also understand the desire to keep things consistent.  But patches should 
always go to the mailing list.  I certainly would have acked such a patch FWIW.

I think people get a bit too excited about coding style.  There are much more 
important things to worry about in life than the number of spaces before a 
parenthesis :-)
