[gentoo-dev] alsaconf removal?

[Samuli Suominen]

alsaconf should die as it's useful only for ISA/PCMCIA and currently broken

see, http://bugs.gentoo.org/456214

does anyone have problems with dropping alsaconf and patching the 
gentoo's alsa-guide.xml to tell users to edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa 
directly if they need?
udev will autoload the modules just fine even without touching the whole 
file for PCI, USB, ... devices

all feedback appericiated
