It is.  In my original release I wrote the documentation page in DocBook
format.  This was handy, because both HTML and manpage formats could be
rendered from there.

However, I noticed DocBook wasn't used anywhere else in alsa-utils, and
I didn't want to pull in an external package just for that, so I made
the manpage format primary.  The "Generator" comment is now superfluous,
I will remove it.

Good idea, thanks.
