== Dubiousness in Audio section ==
"The new audio stack runs at user level, thus increasing stability." seems dubious to me. Simply moving things to user-space doesn't make anything 'more stable' (except the kernel, if the audio subsystem is/was buggy). It can be ''rewritten'' in user-space and provide additional stability because the old code was buggy, but simply moving anything to user-space never increases stability. If the rewrite caused additional stability? It is not because it now runs in user-space. I'd actually argue against the statement of moving things to user-space making code more stable, since all code running in user-space is subject to lesser privileges than kernel-code? The kernel can then terminate the user-space code at will. I doubt a kernel module would ever be terminated and unloaded. Then again? I'm not a windows/kernel expert.
If it is meant that it ''increases stability'' of the kernel and not stability of the audio subsystem? This should also be made clear.
