To respond better, I'd actually prefer not putting 'default y', but I figured it was more important to stay compatible with existing configs. If you feel that isn't a big deal, then it can be removed. The default in these cases should do no harm because it doesn't actually enable any code.
I think it's more important not to break the old config than avoiding default y.
I'll apply the patch after a bit more testing (I'm off from the main workstation right now)...
thanks,

Yes, I realized that and I made the new toplevel options default y so that it would mimic the existing config. The main reason for doing this is so that I can quickly 'n' to shut off things like "ISA devices" with one key. I believe I got them all, but please verify.
Thanks, -Andrew

This update to the Kconfig files allows the ability to select/deselect entire submenus, starting with the root "Sound device support" on the main kernel configuration page. Inside sound support, ALSA/OSS can be easily enabled/disabled. Inside ALSA, entire classes of devices can be easily enabled/disabled at the ALSA menu (e.g. ISA, PCI, USB devices) without having to manually disable individual cards within the submenus. Modified menus: main, isa, pci, pcmcia, soc, spi, usb
A problem I found at the last time from a similar patch is that the replacement with menuconfig throws away the old configuration unless you have "default y". And people are picky about "default y"...
I need to check this again, anyway.
