I've attached a patch I use to get the wis-go7007 driver to compile. This
patch has worked on my system since kernel version 2.6.17 and I have recently
used it with kernel 2.6.18.3 (just compiled and worked). Seems to work great
on my amd64 system using mythtv.

Patch to make wis drivers run on kernel 2.6.19
snd_card_free_in_thread is deprecated (and thus missing) in the ALSA in kernel
2.6.19.
I've replaced it with a call to snd_card_free. This seems to work, although
I'm not quite sure if this is the entirely correct solution. However, in a
pinch it'll work.
This patch includes the patch posted above.
I should note that the original patch I posted is needed for 2.6.17 and 2.6.18
(as the package is currently in portage, it will only compile for kernel 2.6.16
and possibly older kernels.) The best solution (IMHO) would be to update the
ebuild so that it would apply the first patch for kernel 2.6.17 or 2.6.18 and
apply the new patch submitted by Greg for kernel 2.6.19
