And the ALSA developers surely love them:

	Users of binary only dirvers must be instructed not use ALSA for
	technical support whatsoever! These users must be notified with
	the following notice. 

	"These drivers are not part of the official ALSA distribution.
	ALSA will never support these drivers.  DO NOT attempt to
	contact ALSA for support."
