 > Uh, what's the point of '(&ss)->' instead of 'ss.'?
 You caught me, I have no experience in C. I'm one of those high-level
 language application programmers.

 Which they don't with the patch.
 The new patch fixes this and is much cleaner in general.

 I was thinking about adding some logic to make the channel_map of the
 combined sink a superset of all the slave channel_maps. This is probably
 what you want when combining a left,right and a front-left,front-right
 ,rear-left,rear-right sink.[[BR]]
 But in other cases this is not wanted, e.g. combining a left,right and a
 mono sink you would like just a left,right not a three channel combined
 sink. So I think only using the channel_map if there is an exact match
 suffices for now.
