Hello,

Here is a quick patch to allow sound support to compile correctly
when not using /proc support.

Regards,
Paul Rolland, rol@as2917.net

You are making all users of functions manipulating /proc condentional.
A simpler approach would be to make the functions that actually
minipulate /proc conditional.
For example snd_info_card_create() could be a noop if CONFIG_PROC_FS
is not defined.
Then you minimize the number of #ifdef's, and they are placed logically
where they belongs.

Furhtermore you make less code conditional which imply that the execution
path - and thus code getting more test - is more similar for the two cases.

It's a bad fix. The null function declarations should go to 
include/sound/info.h.

As I wrote, it is a "quick fix".
Sure there are better way to do it, my intention was mainly :
 - to mention the problem,
 - give a quick (though dirty) workaround for people missing it.
