Oh, I didn't know of such a tree.  So you created alsa driver build
system with your spdiff?  That's interesting.

Yes, the external alsa-driver build tree has existed since 10 years
ago :)  It was even possible to build with 2.2/2.4 kernels until
recently.

The current tree is found in github,
	git://github.com/tiwai/alsa-driver-build.git

The common framework would be really nice to have.
V4L also have own build system, and possible other subsystem trees too.
