27 From my POV:
28
29 * alsa version commited to the tree,
30 * mplayer version has been commited,
31 * alsa version has been removed,
32 * general discussion started on what combinations are allowed
33 * somewhere in between the transcode version was added
34
35 My rationale was and is to stop people continueing to add such versions
36 w/o prior discussion.
