No, the question is strategy for advancing OSS and eliminating ALSA. I
support that position so I am relevant to strategizing how to do it.
Someone who opposes that positions is relevant only to undermining
it, not to advancing it...

If the question were how to advance ALSA and eliminate OSS, then my
input would be irrelevant to the strategy.
