Short summary
We reconsider the interaction of waves in a magnetized plasma, with a focus on the solar wind. The importance of a kinetic description, taking the detailed velocity distribution of electrons and ions into account, is emphasized. Our result for the coupling strength between different wave modes agrees with previous results in the limiting case when kinetic effects are negligible, however.
