I think forcing this to be built in to the kernel (which is what the
commit message says the change is going to do) is an obviously bad
idea.  Anything we add to the base kernel image needs to have a good
reason to be there and it is hard to think what that reason might be for
any audio driver, we need to be able to put this code into a module.
