I'd hoped the "whimsical" beginning of my sentence conveyed its desperate and non-literal tone. I don't want anybody to wrestle code. I've seen it before and the bruises are ugly. But since you seem to be interested in my opinion I'll explain a little more. I'm not suggested dropping kobj's from the hardware/pcm relationship. I would like to see the vchans and format conversion either dropped or integrated completely. I would like to unifdef anything possible. Drop the use of snd_mutex_*, and general just assume that the code base is at least 5.x (the code is already moving in that direction, though not deliberately). The feeder/mixer/vchan concepts are difficult for me and I believe that de-kobj'ing would benefit the next generation of sound hacker to come. Or maybe a few lines of comments would clear everything up, it's hard to tell. Finally, the original statement was a plea for help.
