I won't maintain my driver any more.  It makes no sense at this point.

We'll need to see with patience how Creative reacts.  No matter what,
someone needs to tell them...  If nothing happens really, we need to
fork from their driver, clean up to merge into the upstream.
But, it's no time to decide it now.


thanks,

Takashi
