I have been working on the Ubuntu patch for 12.04 for this cycle. 
Currently we apply our change as part of a distro-patch. I actually did 
an entirely new panel based on the old sound panel.
What I suggest is that I first write a document explaining my approach 
and supporting each section with particular diffs.  This would give me a 
chance to tidy the code base before presenting it to you and secondly I 
feel it would be much better to do it this way rather than dropping a a 
couple of thousand line diff for you to digest.

Thoughts ?
