an easy solution is to copy the necessary header files from the asihpi
driver to the alsa driver tree.  if it's under GPL, no problem about
this action :)

however, if the asihpi driver is subjected to be changed often (and
its external functions, too), it's of course better to use symlink to
follow it.
in this case, we'll add a configure option to specify the directory of
the asihpi driver source. then audioscience driver will be disabled
unless this option is specified.
