Brad,

Do you have a plan or outline for how you'd like to tackle the wiki? If 
not, maybe we can make one over the next week or so; this way, after my 
finals, I'll be able to dive right in the work. As I was going through 
the ALSA documentation I noticed that I would have to dig deep in order 
to find articles related to my issue; maybe we can link directly to them 
on the Ubuntu wiki for easy reference? Also, I'll try to think of a few 
questions to ask. Maybe we can go through the "Questions" section on 
Launchpad and tackle the most common ones first. Thank you all for 
allowing me to assist you.

Yazen
