Uhm... Sorry to see this issue brought up yet again. Just a couple of |
| 15 |
brief notes: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
- The in-kernel drivers seriously are not an equivalent alternative, let |
| 18 |
alone the preferred one, for stuff like hda-intel or any similar drivers |
| 19 |
that are under permanent heavy development, at least for now. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
- This is not a duplicated maintenance effort, it's simply needed to |
| 22 |
have external alsa-drivers ebuilds, and it's needed to have them |
| 23 |
supported as ALSA upstream won't accept bugs about in-kernel drivers. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
- The two are basically different branches, and it's *not* about whether |
| 26 |
the code is newer or older in one or the other at all. |
