Well, it would be more accurate to say that the
"built-in" code wasn't a priority. I was also hoping
that Linux 2.5+ would make the entire problem

Hi,
I saw the SoundScape PnP driver appear in CVS today,
along with a number of FIXMEs at the top of the file.
I presume that these FIXMEs are a barrier to fully
integrating the driver, and that's what you mean by
"deadlock for alsa-kernel"?
Anyway:
- the CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL dependency was a hold
