       The unique ipc key is calculated based on card/device/sub index
     - Clean up and share the code among all d* plugins

   - Summary: Add "nonblock" option for hw layer
     Added a new "nonblock" option for hw layer.  This controls the non-blocking
     "open" mode as default.
     This option is set to TRUE as the default configuration.  If the old behavior

       The unique ipc key is calculated based on card/device/sub index
     - Clean up and share the code among all d* plugins
     - Refer the defaults.pcm.* configuration
       The base ipc_key number, ipc_gid and ipc_perm are referred.
   - Summary: Remove bad assert
     From: Pierre Ossman <drzeus-list@drzeus.cx>
     Freeing the global config update structure when it had been created
     without any configs present caused an assertion to trigger. Since this
     is a valid scenario and the assertion didn't really protect against
     anything, it should simply be removed. Attached patch does exactly that.

 + Test/Example code
   - Summary: Added pcm_min test & example - minimalistic pcm output
   - Summary: pcm_min - blocking mode is default - remove extra snd_pcm_nonblock() call

 + Envy24 Control
   - Summary: envy24control wordclock text patch
     From: John Rigg <ad@sound-man.co.uk>
     I reported a bug in envy24control about the text displayed when using
     the BNC word clock input on a Delta 1010 (bug id 0001677). It says
     `No signal' when locked and `Locked' when there's no signal. I wasn't
     sure how to submit a patch using the Bugtrack interface, so I've
     attached it here (this fixes it in alsa-tools-1.0.10).

     From: Piotr Tajdus <aegis@op.pl>
     There were problems with EQ10 on Sound Blaster (caused by ACCUM or macmv
     instruction, i am not sure), so i made some changes. Now equalizer
     should work also with SB Live.
