i would ask please don't modify the ramdisk as it is very delicate and
already stripped down. tomb is an important app (not yet documented
properly) to handle encrypted partitions - i'm using it a lot! :)

and anything that has to do with audio in the ramdisk doesn't really
makes sense, the ramdisk is there to startup a limited system
(busybox) and find the dyne.sys anywhere around, which will then
contain the full system, so should include network tools (and also
fuse) but not applications with big dependencies (ldd alsamixer and
libasound to see).

eventually in dyne:3 i'm planning to actively mantain the ramdisk
since it is a very delicate part and until it is well documented in
its functionalities (and limits) it might break the system to touch
it.

happy hacking :)

ciao
