At the risk of sounding-off through the top of my head (or worse) here's my three half'p'orth. This would surely be true if we were talking about a stable kernel or even a late-phase development kernel. However this is a very early stage of a development kernel, which is surely the time to be including things that are the "right way" to do things even if they don't yet work as well as the established but ad hoc methods. I guess the real key is whether Linus considers that ALSA is the "right way" in the mid to long term.
