[alsa-devel] Alsa conformance test - a new test for ALSA drivers

[Yu-Hsuan Hsu]

Hi Takashi,

Thanks for the reply. I'm very glad that you like it. Do you have any
strong reason for moving it into ALSA upstream? If not, I would like to
keep it in chromium code base. It's also easy for developers to send
patches via gerrit (chromium-review.googlesource.com). I can be responsible
for reviewing these changes. If installing from the source code is not
quick enough, we can create the new package for it. Besides, it is easier
for me to maintain this tool.

Best,
Yu-Hsuan
