I only meant this for the initial stage to get things working. Once
that is done, it would be best of course to include support for all
sound cards, that would be trivial compared to the rest of the
process. I have played with creating ramdisks before, so I'm familiar
with the basics. I've also built alsa from source, but never looked at
it. If ./configure, make, make install worked, which they always did,
I just moved on, and never bothered looking at the results, because I
didn't need to, and because I wasn't interested.
