I think we can file the raop2 code under a quite special category. It
doesn't have a big inpact outside of the raop2 code, and those bits are
quite trivial to review. I just read them my self and they looked ok to
me =)

On the other hand, the raop2 code itself is quit the opposite. It
requires understanding of raop2 and pa.

Here comes the point: The current raop2 code is pretty much unusable.
There are probably very few who have such old devices that they work
with that code, and the changes only affects raop2 users.

I'd love to see the code merged, and even with the
module-raop-discover module disabled by default. That way this change
only affects users who really wants and uses this feature, and probably
need this code to get their gear working.


So my suggestion is to take a look at the non-raop2 patches so the
maintainers are happy with those, and merge the lot.
