Because:
- I think ALSA is not that well documented.
- I'd rather see a combination of a device specific kernel driver and
a user-space driver than a common kernel interface.

I'm not comparing ALSA to OSS. And having user-space drivers
doesn't prevent code sharing. I just don't like the common device file
interface.
