Thanks.  However, I could not get (the old) autoconf to produce a working configure script due to 'AS_HELP_STRING', so I added
	#define CONFIG_HAVE_FFS
to the patched adriver.h and used the original configure script, to proceed for now (which it did).

Unfortunately make didn't get much further, having more ??historic kernel?? trouble in memalloc:

memalloc.c: In function `snd_mem_proc_open':
memalloc.c:611: warning: implicit declaration of function `single_open'
memalloc.c: At top level:
memalloc.c:715: error: `single_release' undeclared here (not in a function)
memalloc.c:715: error: initializer element is not constant
memalloc.c:715: error: (near initialization for `snd_mem_proc_fops.release')
memalloc.c: In function `snd_mem_init':
memalloc.c:731: warning: assignment discards qualifiers from pointer target type

Sorry if this is causing a lot of extra trouble.
