I was planning to submit it as a separate driver, since its architecture differs significantly from the existing one. The main differences are: support for "hardware" secondary buffers with ALSA, not Wine, doing the mixing; and the use of the DMIX plugin, which hopefully will allow it to play friendly with other DMIX-aware linux apps (e.g. mplayer, etc.).
Yes, submit! I'd love this, dmix is really the future of Linux audio I think. One thing I don't understand is why the drive had to be rewritten to use it, I thought dmix was a userspace plugin to libalsa?
