Summary:                    ens1370 gameport module stupidity
Description: 
hi.

situation:
i have ens1370 built-in kernel and gameport too.
i have the lilo cmd line snd_ens1370.joystick=1 to enable gameport.
works perfectly.

the problem is if i add gameport as module.
the gameport command fails, and i can't use gameport.
this can be even normal..but the problem is i can't no more enable
gameport on audio card.

i checked the /sys and /proc fs to check a settable value. no luck
this forces gameport to be a module, only if snd is module (i can pass
values via modprobe)
and forces to be built-in if snd is built-in.

can be gameport init added via proc/sys or a specific alsa tool?

Thanks

This can't be easily done.

The solution is to simply build the gameport support statically into the
kernel if this driver is compiled statically.
