However, I am pondering pushing alsa 1.0.17 into Intrepid, which will require updating the drivers in the kernel. As you may be aware, for hardy, we managed to mismatch alsa components to the point where things are somewhat broken for many users. When these users made use of alsa-lib 1.0.16, to match the kernel drivers, things resolved themselves.

I am wondering if there has been any progress into looking at alsa 1.0.17? Is there anything I can do to help speed up the process?
