"Audio Backends" is in the "Subsystems" meta-section, and "Audio Frontends" in the "Devices" one.

I don't want to use parenthesis in the descriptions because this then breaks the get_maintainer.pl output when parsed by (git) scripts. > > But okay ... > > Acked-by: Christian Schoenebeck <qemu_...@crudebyte.com> > > Best regards, > Christian Schoenebeck > >
