So, then, this would be the point at which we beg for our favorite patches 
and/or enhancements, right?  ;-)

I would like to respectfully ask that Ticket #3405 be included in the release.  
This is a patch to support ALSA sound through analog tuners.  I would really 
like to see this in the release as I use the analog setup on my HDTV Wonder 
and F11 no longer supports OSS by default (and enabling it results in other 
problems).

The ticket is marked "Accepted" but I see no sign of the updates in trunk.  It 
seems to be independent of any of the UI changes and only adds a bit of 
functionality to allow ALSA in addition to OSS inputs.  Perhaps someone with a 
bit more gravitas than me could champion it?

TIA!
