Well, we don't track upstream coverage itself; we only track coverage
for tests included in the certification suite.

A usual process is to adopt existing upstream tests (if any) in LSB test
suites - drop tests for non-LSB symbols, make the tests themselves LSB
compliant, etc..

(I guess Stew can say more about integration of upstream tests into LSB
test suite).

In general, it seems that we should investigate existing libasound tests
and try to use them.
