Dunno. This guide is just something I wrote up as someone who knows
the ALSA API quite well I think. However, I am mostly just a developer
*using* the API, not a developer *writing* the API.

and Jaroslav commented on this. They are certainly the ones whose
endorsing or not-endorsing of this guide matters the most.
