Hi,
in upcoming 3.0-kernel era, I believe it's high time to drop the support of old 2.2/2.4 kernels in alsa-driver external builds. Recently I changed some PCI drivers to use KBUILD_MODNAME, and this isn't supported by the old kernels, i.e. it's currently broken for these kernels. But I have no more gut to patch alsa-driver/* codes.
Is there any active user of such kernels with the latest alsa-driver? If not, let's clean up the whole things. 2.2/2.4 kernel users can still use 1.0.24, and we can release 1.0.24.x series if really needed.
thanks,
Takashi
