I will start by sending a patch to Greg KH and the ALSA maintainers
that moves the files in linux-next.git from drivers/staging/ to
sound/usb/.  I drafted the patch this morning and now need to test it.

There will probably review comments, which will be addressed by
smaller cleanup patches against linux-next.git.

Once the cleanups have been merged into linux-next.git I'll send an
updated patch to move the driver out of staging.  This will repeat
until folks are happy.

In other words the driver is cleaned up in staging and when there are
no more issues a single patch moves it out of staging.

Regarding the svn repo: it has branches and features that are not in
linux-next.git and are still experimental.  I don't care about those
branches unless Markus would like me to help move the code into
linux-next.git.
