I found it odd that the klang developer has this thing for power management.
My studio machine is not a laptop running on battery power, nor does it
have a heat problem. I really couldn't care less about whether my audio
subsystem allows the CPU to throttle back. My latency is around 5ms, and I
don't have any problem with routing apps through JACK. My studio system
has been very stable for years now.

Not only is he solving a non-problem, but he's trying to do it without
tapping the knowledge base of the people who have been working on this
for years, and he's trying to do it in a way that is counter to decisions
made at high levels in the kernel dev circles about using FP in the
kernel.
