Just to make things clear

When I decided starting coding the ALSA driver, TG offered to sponsor
the
work. I turned down the offer (don't need sponsor for what I'm doing)
and
suggested using the money for some other use.
Furthermore, I'm not for or against Wine nor for or against WineX. I'm
just
trying not to let an important gap being created between all the
different
projects.

The ALSA driver has been started on a X11/MIT license, some people
currently are
giving an hand to shape it better (David Hammerton did some testing and
bug
fixing for 0.5, Marco Pietrobono is currently fighting with the awes of
the
0.9 interface, but that's another story), and will remain under the
X11/MIT 
license.

A+
