This is a fatal compilation error, isn't it?

That patch is already in the alsa git tree (has been there for five days),
so I would of course prefer that the alsa guys merge it into 2.6.22.

However alsa merges are a bit spotty, so I'll queue this up anyway and will
merge it in a day or three if nothing else happens, OK?
