But it should *not* happen in a stable kernel series.  An update like
this belongs in 2.5, and then maybe backported when it's working well.
Where is 2.5 anyway???

Maybe I'm just cranky, but I think my 3 year old soundcard whose
drivers have been available for ~2 years should just work at this
point, without having to worry about tracking cvs and their mailing
list.
