i guess sys_* functions are also not defined correctly on older
kernels.  they were open(), close(), read() with __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__.

how about to make a patch for old kernels to add the following?
(about line 1920 of wavefront_synth.c:)

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,5)
#define __KERNEL_SYSCALLS__
#include <linux/unistd.h>
static int errno;
#define sys_open open
#define sys_close close
#define sys_read read
#else
#include <linux/unistd.h>
#endif
