While these are being reviewed it might be nice if some of the
additional fixes for the DirectAudio ALSA code that were added by Omair
were also reviewed:

- Use the ALSA 'default' device if possible.
  patches/icedtea-alsa-default-device.patch

- Fix linker order:
  patches/icedtea-linker-libs-order.patch
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/distro-pkg-dev/2008-November/003845.html

Thanks,

Mark
