Hi, thanks for applying them!
I'm working my way through the "non-trivial" changes first. I have a coccinelle script that will do a mass-conversion of the common cases. It's possible that those changes cover the other usages in sound/* or that I haven't made my way through the others yet (it's a very long list). I wouldn't object to other people helping with the conversions, of course. :)
