Hello all,

	I am really happy to announce a new ALSA release. We did a next
major step for support of DVD players and multichannel games and the user
space API offers uniform access for multichannel card features and uniform
raw S/PDIF support to forward AC3 and DTS streams.
	If nothing happens, the 0.9.0 final release will be out in July.

						Have fun,
							Jaroslav
