Colin, Thierry, WDYT? 

(I began working on it locally, so any hints are appreciated as usual).
Comment 2 Ahmad Samir 2011-03-07 21:38:21 CET 
Also, should we wait until after Alpha2? Freeze is on next Friday according to ennael.
Comment 3 Ahmad Samir 2011-03-08 03:40:36 CET 
OK, I updated alsa in SVN, just waiting for Thierry and Colin to review the split of the firmware from alsa-tools.
