the alsa modules have "snd-" prefix, so they don't conflict with
others anyway.

IMO, if the driver is iPAQ specific, i prefer a simple name such as
snd-ipaq or snd-ipaq-h3x00.  if a part of the driver will be shared by
others, then we can split it to a lowlevel module with a proper device
name.

just my $0.02.
