You cannot "move" things to <sys/soundcard.h>, because that file
is provided by glibc as a simple redirect to <linux/soundcard.h>.
The problem there is obviously the compatibility of combinations
of kernel and glibc before and after the change.
The use cases I can see include:
1. A simple app that only needs the ioctl definitions in
linux/soundcard.h and does not care about all this.
2. A slightly more sophisticated app that uses the !OSSLIB part of
<sys/soundcard.h> or <linux/soundcard.h>.
3. A new OSSlib application for OSS-3.9 or OSS-4.x that uses the
<sys/soundcard.h> file provided by OSSlib, instead of the
one from glibc.
4. A legacy OSSlib application from the last century using either
linux/soundcard.h or sys/soundcard.h to get at the macros.
5. An application that gets compiled against <linux/soundcard.h>
but linked against OSSlib 3.9 or 4.x.
Removing the macros and extern declarations from linux/soundcard.h
will break the final two cases. The only options I can see here
are "do nothing" and "screw them".
Both should be fine, because the warning is easy to shut up
with a small preprocessor macro #define _SEQ_EXTERN extern,
and it's rather unlikely that anyone runs into this problem
on a 2.6 kernel in the first place.

This patch breaks building against OSSlib with the kernel headers
instead of its own headers. It should still work with any
version of the library from the 2003 onwards which provide
their own headers for the latest interface.
