no need to reinvent the wheel in every driver
distro maintainers build monuments in honor of alsa team
because of space saving.
eg: current cooker up kernel (2.4.18-4mdk) has 15Mb of gzipped
modules: 1.1mb for 54 snd-card-* modules (total: 115 modules)
vs 683kb for 40 cards modules (total: 49 modules)
still to do: merge snd-card-es137{0,1} binaries

- support for quite a number of cards not supported by oss/free
