BTW, what's the status of the BTS? Takashi asked me to post all my issues on the ML instead of on the BTS. So why have the BTS at all? It's even linked on the alsa-project.org front page under "I found a bug!", which is a bit misleading. If this Mantis thing is not liked at all, would it be possible to make some replacement available? Maybe just use the kernel bugzilla on bugzilla.kernel.org? It's very fast, and certainly more fun to work with than with Mantis.
I prefer BTS but Takashi not. It's matter of personal preference. Mantis is easy maintainable and we have more projects (or packages) not only drivers.
The kernel bugzilla already is used for stuff like klibc and other userspace support code for the kernel. I am sure noone would oppose to move the complete bug tracking of ALSA to the kernel bz.
But why to change to bugzilla? The basic functions of both BTSes are very similar (except the fact I don't like perl at all). Actually, ALSA services (server) run on a dedicated virtual XEN machine, so we can install any software we need.
