It's easier to just assume in this forum. Idk who he is, but a comment like that is not welcome imo. He can choose not try it. But for anyone to put down someone giving potentially useful work, is not ok.
Also, a sound driver is just a sound driver. You can enable the device without actually using any output, so the whole "blow my speaker up" thing is just bullshit. To even think that a driver can blow your speaker is a bit preposterous. Now, if you were to tell me, "here are some modified mixer files, try them out", that's a different story.
Anyone who know anything about compiling a kernel, will tell you that adding a sound driver to the kernel and enabling via menuconfig is the least risky thing you could do
