This might be a bit of a problematic choice... I usually suggest using |
| 6 |
alsa-driver also if the in-kernel is "quicker" to manage... The reason is |
| 7 |
that I still fear for alsa-lib/-driver differences, and there was at least a |
| 8 |
couple of issues with in-kernel emu10k1 drivers in the past that solved using |
| 9 |
alsa-driver, as they got fixed first. |

Also, alsa-driver allows to have more updated drivers also using old 2.6 |
| 12 |
versions, and there are quite a bit of people that does not like to update |
| 13 |
the kernel if they don't have to (I think I'm one of them now, after the day |
| 14 |
spent looking why the system got unstable -and finding out the swap space |
| 15 |
lost somehow the signature), but might have issues with alsa that can be |
| 16 |
solved with a simple alsa-driver. |

For the rest, probably is good to have virtuals and doc in-sync.. |
