proposed patch to fix this problem

I've attached a patch that should fix this bug.  It just checks whether kernel
version is > 2.6.0, and if so, uses module_param() instead of MODULE_PARM() in
the broken files.  Hopefully someone will consider merging this into portage if
it's acceptable.

Please check if 1.0.12_rc1 is fixed, if it is not report upstream. It's a mess
to follow ALSA upstream when they decide not to fix their crap.

This is fixed in alsa-driver-1.0.12_rc1-r1.

Fixed then.

We need something newer stable.

1.0.13 is stable with 2.6.17 and 2.6.18.  Try that and see if it fixes your
problem.  I use 1.0.13 and 2.6.18 and no issues even with -o3.

1.0.11 is not even in the tree anymore.
