Are these necessary?

This is a bug, should be fblevel 0 but I don't think it's necessary.
In fact, my sleep function is empty and it seems to work.

No. Fortunately, the kernel can emulate mouse buttons with keys. :)
I have this in a startup script to get the middle button on F11 and the right
one on F12 :

Still, I suggest using a mouse. The trackpad sucks.

You have to enable 'Volume controls Master not PCM' in the Mixer tab of the
output plugin preferences.

It's probably an endianness bug, maybe you can figure it out and fix it? :)

You can alienate an RPM or try to build it yourself (seems to be tricky).
