Yay! Could we also consider adding a config variable to handle
alsactl? On my laptop (and hopefully most), the state doesn't change
across suspend/resume. I guess we probably need to talk to some ALSA
guru, though.

Victor, would you mind lumping together changes that are logically
together? Like, the documentation of NEED_CLOCK_SYNC should go with
the patch where it is used. Likewise with removing 55battery and
removing the reference in Makefile.am. It's really easy: do `git
rebase -i' and squash together commits that should logically be
together.
