d-i kernel sound drivers selection in kernel-wedge



Hello,

As a follow-up to thread `software speech synthesis in d-i?', I'm
wondering about the kernel sound drivers and kernel-wedge.

I had started writing a sound-pcm-modules file that would include
drivers for boards that support PCM, so as to avoid wasting space with
MIDI boards. However, AIUI, a module can not be in several kernel-wedge
packages, and so there couldn't be both a sound-pcm-modules and a
sound-seq-modules since actually a lot of devices do support both PCM
and MIDI :) so I'm even wondering whether to just call it sound-modules?

The list of drivers is quite long, and I'm wondering whether it is
really useful to rule out MIDI-only drivers, as there are very few
boards not supporting PCM.  Simply including everything from sound/
would be a lot easier to maintain, wouldn't it?  I'm OK with taking the
time to select drivers, I'm just wondering whether it's really worth
spending time on it instead of other things (the waste is probably a few
100KBs, compared to the total 6MB of sound/).

Samuel
