For some reason you did not consider this important statement in my
original message:
"
ALSA lib - the thing end user needs for his/her audio application - is
a DLL - IIRC.
".
That is, end users are supposed to write both open and closed source
application talking to kernel + ALSA dirvers through ALSA lib.
I did not mean ALSA drivers could be closed source.

Sergei.
