I did a lot of the work on the alsa code to get it working better for 
playing HDTV material and I also wrote the volume control code for the 
alsa module.  The "fallback 2" patch looks good to me, but I won't have 
time in the next few days to install it on my test systems and try it 
out.  Perhaps this weekend.
