Nor I. I found the available documentation often one or more of scattered, out-of-date, or difficult. I'd gladly work on new documentation myself, only I never succeeded in getting a sound from ALSA and my SBLive Value (see thread "Can't Get Started"), so I'm in no position to contribute. (I finally threw my hands up and built a kernel with OSS, which, while unsophisticated, works for the simpler things.)
