Thanks Amancio for the support. I am perfectly comfortable if people decides to support OSS, guspnp, or write some other sound driver, and I will try to do my best to help them in their work. The main reason I wrote my own audio driver was not to impose a different one, just to solve a problem I had in a way that could be possibly useful to others. Since I have solved my problems, learned quite something, and have had several other people happily using my driver, I am quite satisfied with what I have done so far. Due to other work etc. I can only dedicate limited time (much less than during the past summer) to the support of new features, and prefer to concentrate on other aspects such as supporting more cards, bug fixes etc. Besides there are some application areas where I don't have enough knowledge to do a good job and definitely need help.
