I'd say he is more than capable of dealing with the mixer issues. I've tested
the mixer code under gentoo with 2.4.24/25, and 2.6.5, with a few different
versions of ALSA, and none of that has anything to do with the mixer, and
unsupprisingly it works fine in all :) These changes are nessesary, and the
sooner they get in, the better. Just think, that annoying "bug" with the
volume in the current mixer is fixed, and it will now be EASY to add HW
features to the drivers. So even if the DX mixer driver is removed that won't
preclude loosing hw streem support on windows, heck it means we get proper
support, instead of a nasty hack, and more bugs.
