Quoting John-Mark Gurney <gurney_j@resnet.uoregon.edu> (from Mon, 17 =20
Apr 2006 20:25:20 -0700):

> Well, I noticed that we have a few extra snd_'s in front of most (all?)

If it's not in front of all drivers for sound chips (!=3D all modules =20
which make up the sound system), it's an inconsistency which should be =20
fixed.

> of our sound drives.. I believe this used to be necessary due to lack of

> Now that this has been fixed, I feel that we should drop these so we

What are the benefits of this patch? Why should we commit it? What's =20
wrong with the current way of naming? How is this patch an improvement?

I don't object to the patch (haven't tested it), but what are the benefits?

Bye,
Alexander.
