So, maybe this is a boneheadedly obvious thing, but having just spoken
with Daniel about this, I'll just summarise my findings.
I, for one, was always using alsa-driver for my new Dell laptop. As it
turns out, Dan has the identical laptop, but he's always been using the

This bug is exactly the kind that makes maintaining alsa-driver (and any
other out-of-kernel module) a small nightmare. It's exactly the kind of
bug that
Well, to be honest, I am neither supporter nor detractor. I think that
it's upstream that should go and fix themselves. It's them who have
caused all this.
ALSA guys do not support in-kernel stuff.
Kernel guys do not support alsa stuff.

The bug you linked to is a natural effect of maintaining kernel drivers
outside of the kernel source tree.

Anyhow, I would like to see alsa-drivers removed, but only with the
