There seems to be a misunderstanding here, which is my fault.  Peter has
volunteered to join the Debian ALSA packaging team.  So far he doesn't have
much experience with it.  None of us has experience with multi-arch packaging
(SFAIK), but I asked Peter to consider the request for bi-arch support in
alsa-lib because he has access to a wider range of hardware platforms than
other members of the team.  Please forgive us if we need a bit of education
as concerns bi/multi-arch support.
