No advance since then unfortuantely.  Instead I'm keeping my own git
tree for maintenance purpose too:

	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound-2.6.git

It should be case-by-case, but yes, as long as the patch doesn't
break builds, it's no problem to keep it in ALSA tree in general.
